For Peter's edification, and that of all our other invited guests (if any), I supply the following passage from Alice in Wonderland: <quote> Here one of the guinea-pigs cheered, and was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court. (As that is rather a hard word, I will just explain to you how it was done. They had a large canvas bag, which tied up at the mouth with strings: into this they slipped the guinea-pig, head first, and then sat upon it.) `I'm glad I've seen that done,' thought Alice. `I've so often read in the newspapers, at the end of trials, "There was some attempts at applause, which was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court," and I never understood what it meant till now.' </quote> This is an example of a chair "diligently enforcing consensus" ;-) S. ===== <?
