Maybe. But the number of double negatives is growing alarmingly, I'm
not sure that I follow them now!

When I said "good point", I was really just trying to be polite. I've
learned through personal experience, that it's very easy for usenet
arguments to get seriously out of hand. So these days, I generally pick
my arguments fairly carefully. Consequently, I'm happy to concede a
point that in fact, I would *not* concede, if push really came to
shove.

I still contend, that if someone wanted to argue that it was *not* a
good point, they should have argued that to the person who actually
made that point. That was the other person - not me!
