Ouch!  My apologies Larry.  I meant to write "inimitable", but for some
reason, the "in" never got concatenated to the "imitable".  No slight was
meant; I have absolute admiration for your programming talent and
appreciation for your contributions to the 'L.

Best of luck to you; I will look forward, as always, to reading your
postings!


I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
