Thank you for your clarification.

In retrospect, I wish I had made my intentions clearer. Ah! but then I have a tendency to write fast and to credit my readers with intelligence lest I be thought of being patronizing and whatnot.
Instead of being asked regarding my real intentions I was unfairly attacked at the outset. Naturally, I responded in kind lest I should be regarded as a "patsy" that couild be stomped on at the first opportunity. Perhaps you are not aware that certain individuals exhibit a fiendish delight in attacking others simply because they think they have a good command of, and great facility with, the English language. To me, such "critters" must not be allowed to get away with it scot-free: they have to be given a taste of their own medicine! Hopefully they will learn to be less fast on the trigger in future.

Though my SI name of Richnorth may at first sight suggest Germanic connections, that is not the case at all. I have friends who have had suffered so much in Germany in the late 30s and in the 40s that later on they became paranoid about the ideals/causes of any new political or mystical organizations. So I do understand where you are coming from.
