Is it not quite workable to use the same calendar, but have separate sub
calendars, for, say Lewis' business, Wife's business, Joint Social,
Joint business, etc.? Then one can tick on or off those that are or
aren't of interest, but still easily view, say, dinner bookings of the
other in order to make joint plans, etc.?

I am not saying Lewis should do this, I just wonder if that might have
any pitfalls. I am single now, but won't be that way forever, so joint
workings of the calendar is interesting to ponder.

Sorry to hear that. He said _one_ ID would not work; you said "Works
perfectly well" And then made it clear that you don't believe _one_ ID
works perfectly well.

My wife and I share the same Apple ID and the same iCloud account. It
works very well. The only thing missing is for my wife to be able to
sync her Safari bookmarks with her iOS thingies. That seems to be
unimportant to her, so we don't count that as a negative. Shared
calendars, contacts, iTunes music, &c are a big convenience.

I think there was some massive snippage there.

Of course there was. I don't subscribe to the "bury the information in
irrelevant verbage" philosophy of so many of today's Usenetters.
