Dear ChainsawOEB: Apparently Stormy also appreciates my attempts to supply 
links.
The reasons I sometimes post snippets with a link is because we are supposed 
to keep our posts reasonably short and also because if I want to discuss 
something it just seems
impossible to keep it as short as required. (Although no word lengths have 
been bruited.)
