So it is worth clarifying such things for our collective benefit, and seeing as some of you seem interested in debating the meaning of 'adjacent', I offer the following (below) from http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/adjacent.

If you are going to look-up a definition, make sure you look at  everything that captures the meaning of the concept. Key to the concept of adjacent is the fact the there is nothing of the same kind between two things that are adjacent, even if there is space between them. 

The point of my raising this issue intitially was to raise awareness about exactly what BMK as stating in their NR. There are, however, some who take things personally and like to make a battle out of everything instead of listening to the 'message'. I'd like to think we are all on the same team, and it too bad that we cannot all approach this forum with the same, dare I say, constructive mindset.
