....well, it's an indication of the use of support: it enables you subtly
to modulate the sentence, outside consciousness, so that the small
hiatus appears totally natural...

No, seriously though, I apologise for sending a post so mangled (and
mis-spelt too, I now see). Too late at night, a bit too much
wine...

What happened was that the external email editor I use correctly
reproduced the 'top bit set' character that my wordprocessor assigns to
the 'em' dash, I think it's called -- which is why I didn't notice the
problem when I sent it -- but then people's mailers interpret that
character differently. Mine replaces it by a space, yours by a 'T', and
somebody else by a 'trademark' symbol.

I'm reposting it, with the standard '--' dashes, with the emphases in
the original added using '*', and the spelling corrected. I apologise
for the waste of bandwidth.

Tony
