Reading his emails reminded me of a what happens when a record gets
stuck in a groove (or a rut). I'm not sure that I agree with him, but
an English teacher of mine once claimed that the only difference
between a rut and a grave is a matter of depth. Clearly we are

on the RISC-OS world: I had no idea what I was subscribing to until I
read the latest issue (whose arrival almost made me fall over
backwards).
