: medium is by definition the thing in the middle, so once you've referred to "happy medium" the rest of this is superfluous - as it is it's a bit like saying "the middle is between the two ends" :-)

: The question is still open (6th April 2008). :-((( // Which is a pity. How about the "Flag or filter this asker" option? I've got a long list of "filtered" colleagues. I enjoy answering questions but I'm no more keen on wasting my time than you are. :-)
