Indeed, as Simon states below, Rafael tagged us. Blog Memes are a bit like chain letters, really, so given that just about everyone I could tag has already been tagged anyway, the chain will not go on from here, although it will certainly go on from somewhere else. As Simon says, there is pleasure in reading back through the chain, if only to marvel at our differences.
