You must forgive David. The many years he has now spent in the UK have undercut his natural Aussie frankness. He is saying you've become a bore on the topic: start at date formats and end up at "stability, structure and strong leadership". It will do as well as anything to bring up the same refrain.
Are you speaking for David now, Charles? The picture becomes clearer with every post.

No, just commenting from an oblique angle. We are short on benevolent dictators, and the one we had probably would be happy never to see another email in his life. Doesn't make all of us motherless children.
Charles, I have no idea what you said, or meant to say, here.

I believe that he means many of us do not feel the same lack of leadership and/or crisis that you apparently do, and would indeed prefer if you stopped trying to "discuss" the topic of leadership by badgering individual people about it. It is impolite and unhelpful, and a waste of time for the vast majority of readers who read this list for information and only post themselves occasionally or not at all.
