You understood right, my friend. Unfortunately,
due to the vagaries of ListServ your mail didn't
get to me till a day after I replied to John
Cowan's mail quoting the next part of your reply
but not the line above!
Had I known you had written that my reply would
have been worded differently.
Why does ListServ get things so out of order?
