Dear Anand

In my posting to Daniel below I wrote, "My greatest concern is that a newby might venture onto t/talk, assume Anand is educated, and accept his assertions."

This should have read, "...assume Anand is educated in these matters..."

It was not my intention to disparage your level of education, 
as the original sentence might be perceived.

Regards
Nigel
