Yes, I think you're quite right, Ian. I don't think that he *behaved*
badly at all, really -- it was just that I was irritated that what I
thought might develop into an interesting thread about K622 'wasn't good
enough' for him. (What he was after was 'just his homework assignment,
would we please note', was what I got -- perhaps wrongly.)

'Fishface' (God knows why) just crawled out through my fingers onto the
keyboard, and was gone before the rest of my brain could recover. (My
brain was a little anaesthetised anyway, I'm afraid:-) It seemed an
appropriately mild puerile jeer. Perhaps I heard it in the playground
at school in the dim and distant past? I don't blame him for responding
at all.

What happens about the taglines is that they're random, and I quite
often delete them. I would normally delete the one that's there now,
because it's not really funny, and I don't agree with it, but I'll leave
it to show you.

But I agree with you: sometimes they do look as though the machine has
chosen them deliberately!
