YOU are the one making a false assumption, John.

You are assuming that I was assuming that you didn't 
already know this.

The truth is, I thought that  YOU  probably did, 
and that quite a lot of other people on the anarchy-list
also probably did, but the chances were that amongst 
the 100+ subscribers to the anarchy list there might 
be some who didn't. There is no disgrace in not knowing
something, and there is no disgrace in learning something
new. I learn something new practically every day.

My posts are not written just for the benefit of 
the person I am "replying" to, nor even just for 
the benefit of that minority of anarchy-list subscribers 
who are "regular posters", but for that wider audience 
that sometimes gets forgotten about.
