To all of you who have helped to make my life richer and sligtly more bearable; for all of the posts, public and private, that have brightened the day; for all of you who have been tolerant of my rants and rages:

A VERY BIG THANK YOU
especially to Anu,

and all the best to you all for this merry season of Yuletide, when the Earth and all things on it renew themselves. May the coming year bring all of you and all of yours happiness and fulfilment -

and may the inventiveness and drollery that illuminates this board continue to enrich the English language, whatever version you use!
