Thank you for your generous response, Richard, especially when I know you may not be in the best of health.

You always give me food for thought, and I can't say that about many people I know !

I really liked the way you reflected back too me, th eocntent of the article as a precis summary .

I am actually in the middle of getting ready for the 2 hour journey to pick up my mother and take her to a spa hotel. First she will express a lot of distaste towards me as I have just cut my hair very short !!!

I am already looking forward to coming back home!

Lots to say... I will email you back on my return.

Thank you again.

PS I did pick Social Anthropology along with Philosophy but the lecturers were mostly rubbish, unlike yours it seems! I like very much, you analytical approach, which they did not match by any means.
