Well thanks Velocio for coupling just my name to Paul Michel's in the 'derailing' aspect: Paul Michel's first post was number 47; mine was 167 and almost all the ones between were about PM not about the OP. By the time I got home from work the thread had already been ruined by Paul Michel, or more accurately, by the responses to his comments. But thanks again.
Probably also not a good idea to invoke Voltaire quite so quickly in future:
Quote; Voltaire wins the day you see... to paraphrase "I disagree with what you say but I'll fight for your right to say it.".
As it happens I think you made the right decision in the end.
