All I wrote was "open-ended term" for Chelsea which is was it is. The
larger rhetorical question about lifetime protection was more general.

Um, some people don't like them enough to hate them. As for Chelsea, I've
always felt very sorry for her and don't envy her at all starting off at
Oxford saddled down with the SS.
