Thanks LN - I take your point  - but in an atmosphere where everyone is rattling on and not listening to anyone else - From experience I chicken out and leave them to it,, before stuff hits the fan and I might forget to duck
 
Rich - certainly was a typo I am glad there were not more - I have the beginnings of a bad headache (I do not know of any Good ones) - it always happens when we get a power cut you are sitting there working on your translation - and minding your own business when without warning the light goes out and the Whole set up is visited by the  Dreaded Black Screen Dæmon  and you sit there  like a lemon - or go make coffee which is much better

Yes.  "booth" here being the shelter where people stayed while
attending the assembly.

The usual trouble with arguments is that you can ONLY hear yourself
think ;-)

I guess "rich" was a typo? CV has "a step involving risk" [

Yes: split or divided.
