grantoe:
... up until my last post, I was talking about Galloway only; I never mentioned Rumsfeld or Reagan or anybody else at all. So I think it's a bit unfair for you to have suggested that I had any intentions in relating the relevancy or significance of Galloway to Rumsfeld or Reagan.

Fair point. Yes, that was unfair of me - you were only ever talking about Galloway.

(I will reply more fully some time next week, when my work deadline is behind me.)
