We don't disagree very much at all on substantive content, 
fwiw.

i) Moi? Would I be non positive ? :-)

ii) I'm surprised that y'all haven't checked the available 
internet resources before asking what something means. You 
were asking, weren't you? :-)

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locum

    "Locum, short for the Latin phrase locum tenens (lit. 
"place-holder," akin to lieutenant), is a person who 
temporarily fulfills the duties of another. For example, a 
Locum doctor is a doctor who works in the place of the 
regular doctor when that doctor is absent. These 
professionals are still governed by their respective 
regulatory bodies, despite the transient nature of their 
positions.
The abbreviated form "locum" is common in Great Britain, 
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most other countries; 
unlike in Latin its plural is locums. In the United States, 
the full length "locum tenens" is preferred, though for some 
particular roles, alternative expressions (e.g. "substitute 
teacher") may be more commonly used."



Positive enough ? :-)

Sounds good.

I'll split you 50:50 on that one.

Deal ?

:-).

My point was not just to be picky (although I may have 
erred, perhaps, just maybe, can it be) a little too far that 
way, but to suggest that "steel fist in velvet glove" / 
"walk softly, carry a big stick" may elicit better results 
than "the beatings will continue until morale improves". Not 
always though. WE Irish can be stubborn in such matters. 
(Even though I've only spent 3 days there ever and it's well 
over 100 years since any of my ancestors left there).
