   I missed the start of this discussion - I wasn't following the thread about   
   "changing subject lines", and only when it WAS changed to something relevant   
   did I start to read it.   
      
   So I'm not sure who introduced the quotation from Lewis and why.   
      
   From what I have seen so far, I certainly agree with your interpretation, but   
   I'd be interested in knowing where it was from, and why it was introduced into   
   the discussion.
