No worries at all, Martin. Thanks for the apology, which is much appreciated but goes way further than was necessary!
And as Keith Richards once said in a similar situation, 'It's all rock 'n' roll, man'.
Seriously, one thing about being an 'academic' is that we are used to 'robust' discussion with no hard feelings. Sometimes that makes us a bit more forthright than other people and we don't quite understand why people take things amiss. So, if I came across as being too blunt, or trying to talk down to you or as being patronising, then please accept my apologies. It wasn't intended like that.
I hope the spear wound heals quickly!
Cheers,
Guy
