Geoff:
I took the liberty of shifting your reply to the bottom of the post - which
in fact is where we are asked as members to place it because that makes 
it much easier to follow a message which gets multiple replies.

I don't think that Gwen and I were suggesting that the "election of a
high official" was unworthy of attention; I certainly followed the campaign
with great interest. We were both light-heartedly pointing out that the
time difference is very noticeable when an event occurs in your evening,
it lands with us in the wee small hours and hence we often find that we
have to catch up with a raft of messages when we first log on.

BTW, I think one of your pet apostrophes got loose and was wandering
round your last message.
