Brief apologies for the double message and out of sync. postings: the only way my computer currently allows me to deal with internet traffic is by subscription to the list's Digest (hence the out-of-sync. postings). (Brief OOT) - Actually, this computer is on the verge of flying out through the window. But I have not yet figured out how to manage "the day after" and this stupid machine clings to the erroneous belief that it is the Master of the house. Well, HAL, you're in for a really big surprise the moment my banker sends me this debt write-off certificate he promised with a funny grin on his face, last time I saw him on April 1st. - Back to topic, I was slightly puzzelled by the references to Luis. I've been deeply missing his extraordinary wisdom and empathy. Can anybody enlighten me on what has happened to him and why he's left the list. I hope this is not a sad story. Regards, Guy Glorieux
