I thought Lloyd was saying that _doesn't_ follow. Or is it me (sorry, is
it I ;) ) who haven't followed?

It sounded as though you were implying that you can't feel, at source,
whether or not the velar port is open. If that's the case I find it
rather odd. I do remember about a year or so ago someone else asserting
that you couldn't feel the action of the velum at source. I certainly
can, it feels very obvious to me, though I have known pupils who say
they can't feel it. At least one other VocaLister wrote to say (s)he
could also feel it. Does that mean the world is divided into two kinds
of people, those who can feel the velum and those who can't?
Or in fact, to follow on from the Booleian thread, four kinds, since the
world is already divided into those who divide the world into two kinds
of people and those who don't...
