Thomas,
Regarding your message dated: 14 September 2000...
MRH>> I believe horses have a relevant expression regarding stable doors and
MRH>> bolting...
TF> This must be an English expression...
The proper expression is...
"That's like bolting the stable door after the horse has bolted."
Which loosely means that preventative measures are kind of wasted if you
wait until after the problem occurs before implementing them. It's
normally spoken in a nice sneering sarcastic sort of tone... :)
Best wishes,
Mark.
