Thank you for the welcome, Jackie,
No, not down under -- southern Ontario, Canada. I've been receiving AWAD for ages, but only this morning logged on to the message board, which is why I haven't got around to adding anything to my profile.

The bond source for propinquity has me curious, but not curious enough to re-read all the books again. I posed the question on a Bond Newsgroup -- alas, they are all movie Bond fans. I should add, I'm not especially a Bond fan, myself -- prefer George Smiley by far. My memory of the Bond reference goes back to the sixties.

Thanks again for the welcome.

David
