I'm sorry, I cannot give you a detailed answer at once.  Up to now, I have been
seeing TKAA only twice, and both times I only thought (after two or three
subordinate clauses already):  `What a boooooring question!'

I think that my brother has video-taped TKAA, but most likely I won't visit him
before August (though I will meet him before at the Hyde Park show :-) ).  So
you will probably have to wait a couple of months for my thorough analysis of
said interview.

Keep the faith.
