Well, maybe not quite! There's certainly nothing wrong with `torrent of indignation', but there is a minor flaw on the following line -- there is no such word as `noone'! You may say either `nobody', (one word), or `no one', (which must be written as two separate words). Please don't take offence; Werner's English is well nigh perfect, but I thought he might like to be informed of this minor slip.
