Tiresias is glad to welcome support from such distinguished company; but don't forget - you read it here first.

While I sympathise completely with your position, I think it only right to point out that your supporters, and you (respectfully) as well as myself, are all of an age when our hearing may not be what it once was! I become conscious of this when my disrespectful son grows impatient when I have to ask him to repeat himself, especially when his contemporaries do not seem to have the same problem!
