OK, I think we finally see eye to eye over that one.  Sorry to
stretch it out for so long but I think the point was worth making;
the swing against the LibDems at the election changed things
rather dramatically with regard to the distribution of second places.
As far as I can see, that means that the LibDems are going to have
a difficult campaign next time round, since they won't be able
to appeal to their second-place showing *nationally* (as opposed
to locally) to encourage people to vote for them.

If Labour have any sense they'll make a direct appeal to LibDem voters
in Tory-Labour seats to vote tactically for Labour.  They probably
won't, of course, because (as you say) they'd rather pretend the
LibDems don't exist.

Why, they too would be unsuported allegations, would they not?  How would

Come one, let's face it, with a few exceptions yoou Canadians are not in
least interested in hearing about anything that reflects badly on your
country.  This is amply demonstrated by the majority of postings in response
to mine.  What would it take to convince you that improper behaviour "exists"
in your institutions, as you reject facts on the ground that they are unsupported
(you are free to check them - they are all checkable) - Fabricant's case and
mine are not quite enough for you (we may be suffering from delusions), some
others I have received by email wouldn't be enough for you either, I'm sure.

I also heard that he was less than chuffed when some of Majors

Major being "parked" for a while next time he calls.

BTW - does anyone else think of the Spitting Image sketch

      It went vaguely like this :-

No.

She should have it repaired at her own expense to the standard it was

She should then be allowed to rent a few private rooms. The rest should be

Two issues.

Splitting up s.c.b:  There is no valid reason to do this.  The eclectic
subjects in this group are one of the main reasons it's a delight, and the
volume is far from the heaviest in usenet.  Either you _want_ to read this
volume, in which case after a split you'd you'd have to chase it to
whatever other groups were split off, or you can handle what you don't want
to read perfectly well by kill files.

Disseminating uk.* outside the UK:  I'm really against this even though I
personally enjoy taking part in local UK discussion.  All of the locally
distributed groups are (and should be) local-centric not only in the
subject matter of the discussions that take place, but also in the
_background, knowledge and attitudes_ of their participants.

uk.* (or can.* or whatever) is _not_ the place to have to put up with some
dumb (insert-your-favourite-nationality-here) asking uninformed questions
about the background of a discussion.  That's what the world-wide soc.*
groups should handle.

The inappropriate circulation of local groups is an unnecessary load on the
resources of the net.

For ex-pats wanting to keep in touch, I'm sure the desired groups could be
gatewayed to mailing-lists.

KEEP LOCAL GROUPS LOCAL!

The company that I previously worked for had an office in Rochester, NY,

The operator would announce over the tannoy, for example,:-

Subject: Seeking information on modularization in UK
Date: 19 Nov 92 09:01:57 GMT
Organization: Dept. of Maths, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.

There is currently some discussion here on the merits and
demerits of `modularization' and `semesterization' of the
undergraduate degree.

We are given to understand that many UK universities have
already opted for this, or are considering doing so.
Also examination of university calendars and prospectuses
(prospecti?) seems to suggest that, till now, the most
enthusiastic devotees of modularization seem to have been the
`new universities'.

Are most universities considering this?  How do people
react to the idea?  Are there universities
which have rejected modularization and/or semesterization?
Is semesterization seen as a necessary part of modularization?
Where semesterization is adopted, are exams held twice a
year, at the end of each semester, or is there an annual
exam in June covering both semesters?  Are teaching semesters
constructed within the traditional statutory terms, or is
it intended that this term structure be done away with
entirely?

I would be very grateful for any information, or opinions, on this.
