I'm definitely NOT not interested in talking about the differences, however it isn't really the place to do it here. I WAS worried about Kaelyn, and just how much she could "take", and how much "visual" to give her, and was being careful NOT to generate any divergent discussion. And I WAS aware of the differences in French, English and American ship designs which have, in the past been the subject of much discussion of M&C on-line, and which are directly relevant to that movie, if not to Persuasion. I was heading off that discussion before it happened! ;-)
