<<You shouldn't be worried about causing offence, that's an individuals reaction to unknown intention! My query was genuine>> :-) I wasn't worried because of your question, Mark. I mentionned "my concern not to offend" just as a reason for me to write <G-d> instead of <God>, because I felt this way of writing seemed important to other people. ...Blame my poor English. I won't be offended :-) Cheers NB
