A post/pre-emptive apology...
I'm hoping to really plough through a lot of ideas in the back of my head this weekend, so please forgive me if they're not as clear and well-formed as they might otherwise be. All responses gratefully received, all comments appreciated, and I'll do my best to fix any errors and typos that will inevitably litter everything I write today as I try to throw things out of my head onto the web where they're both more useful and easier to keep track of. Again - apologies for the incoherent bits and the scrabbling for meaning - I'll try to do better next time...
