Trimming while trying not to misrepresent:

FWIW I'd have thought this was better retagged as [OT] but 
as it started in EE and is about where posts belong I'll 
leave it in EE.

It would, perhaps, have been useful if you had included the 
subject of the original post.
It was "Why EEs love the stressful life".

1.    Re my 'changing my mind.'
I may have been too long a day out / down here on the edge 
of the Empire and the leading edge of the day - what I said 
then seems to me to be entirely the same as I think now.
ie I try and put things where I feel they best belong and 
sometimes the decision is hard to make. In the case that you 
raise the subject was literally about EEs so it swayed the 
balance towards EE, even though the subject per se wasn't 
greatly EE.

If analysis of the material suggests that I have got things 
wrong I'd be wholly happy to have it explained to me well 
enough for me to understand - but if doing so please change 
the tag to [OT] or send offlist, as suits.

2.    Re the definitive response to Sean's comments:
James Newton commented way back then.
Gargoyle knows what he said :-)
[I had pasted the link here but deleted it as that seemed 
the best thing to do].

3.    Is this well material related to preparation of a 
brief for the jury ? :-)
