But that was (part of) my point, you see. I mean this is --like it or not-- the direction things are heading for. Evolution, degeneration...who cares... In less than we might think it may all swing to the other end (aka your ";right"; end if you wish) but meanwhile the guys are flirting with the big and bold. So what?

I myself adore Jancis, no problem with the character at all. All I’m saying is that when she punished lack of typicity she was behaving deliberately like a sort of Taliban (OK, it’d take Ned Flanders to qualify this statement but just as there is a terroirism and a ";fruit fundamentalism"; there is a danger in excess in ANY direction). I bet she knew what she was in for, and that her rating was more exemplary than fair, even by her own standards...
Proof that I’m teasing you is that I was wondering whether your dialectical principles had outpowered your disgust for PFB and you had shelled out the $$$ just in order to be able to shout out loud what repugnant s**t Pavie 2003 is... ;^P
