That's my point, it's completely irrelevant, as are mu=ltiple postings here ...

As I've said both often and, in fact, quite recently myself ...

reiteration is a problem only to those paying for storage, printing up
the proceedings, or with limited patience/inbox space.  The first may

The irony there is, and this is why I triggered this, David often
posts items I'd already posted, even if not necessarily to the List.
We have similar interests, maybe even a similar sense of what's of
interest.  Again, though, these echoes don't bother me in the least,
though in David's case, I assume it's because he actually willfully
ignores my posts.  Which doesn't bother me wither.  But do note that,
in discussing a (non-)"probelm" here, we've managed qquite nicely to
produce a sterling example of said "problem," AND demonstrate quite
well why it's not only inevitable, but not really a problem at all.
Meanwhile, I've yet another example of what I've had to coin here as a
violent agreement," or nearly so.  I THINK we agree, at any rate ...

Sorry if you got caught in the crossfire ...
