Andrew here,
I just saw Fred's post (ope-l 961) in response to me about an hour or so
ago. It'll take me awhile to digest it and respond, and I can't do so
now. I hope to do so within 2-3 days (maximum of 5).
I mention this partly because another list member has asked me to respond,
and I want to explain why I haven't done so yet.
P.S. I think this might be a good practice for everyone, when a reply has
been made as part of an ongoing dialogue--let us know that you're not
breaking off the discussion.
Andrew Kliman
