Thank you for belatedly joining us on the same cognitive page.  The note
was from the listadmin.  As already detailed multiple times.

The mail was held for listadmin attention.  Then it was posted.  Don't
like that?  Feel free to operate your own mailing list -- or just don't
freakin' well post HTML.  Entirely up to you.

I am unaware of anything of yours that I have "not allowed to
propagate" (nor any means by which I could do so).  If you have a
grievance about something, I'd suggest you experess it to
blw at baylisa.org, and please be a great deal more specific.

Let me be quite clear about this, Richard:  I stepped rather far out of
my way to attempt to help you by giving further explanation to you about
a situation that appeared to puzzle you, although it seemed abundantly
clear to me.  I will not make the same mistake twice.
