I've always thought that the Luddites could have destroyed a lot more machines if only they'd had better tools for the job.

Have you thought that without the Luddites we would have no word for those opposed to technology.

Like Bowdler, they have save huge numbers of trees from becoming paper as they have become a condensed term for all that is stupid in human thought.


PS: I have bought a five year option on 'expletive deleted'


Edited be coz I have got an at tack of the 'jumping space bar' and it pu ts b lanks all over the place and they refuses to stay where I puts them.

Also suffering for no extra cost and att ck of errant cpaitalisation which I have now got under control by judicious use of the 'edit' function. Aslo spoonerised lettering.
