My sarcastic paragraphs seem to be rippling sideways ... again. I have re-read them, imagining myself to be another member of the group who has been with us for long enough to have read the memorable 'composition' and 'format' posts.
I wouldn't change a word, its perfectly clear stuff. The language is okay. Its as plain as the nose on my face, or even that of the belligerent junior Bush.
