In reply to:

It wasn't intended to be a criticism Max - each to their own, I say. But I do loathe the PC police - generally boot-polish Maoris like our Winnie - who run with the hares and hunt with the hounds, probably without realising they're doing it.

No criticism was taken - my overwheening vanity can't conceive of such a possibility. I agree entirely about the PC police. For similar reasons, Bob Jones has written that he refuses to call Stephen O'Regan by his adopted name. Whatever boils your crawfish, and for me, I just like the way many Maori names sound.
