Paging Hilary Granados

Seeing as you're about ...

Now let me try to get this straight. You say that this post, which
arrived on the list some 30 hours or more after it is dated

and which thus appears to have preceded your initial post on the topic
by some 45-odd minutes

was caused by you having a cold?

You do realise, of course, that it was the latter post here which seemed
to be the straw which broke Terrance's back? Of course you do. Why else

apologetic-sounding, clarification?
