	Henry didn't write that, I did.  I'm sure it was unintentional, but
it's not nice to mis-attribute quotes.  Henry was replying to my posting,
as the ">>>'s" sort of show, but it's not easy to wade through multiple
layers of >'s to figure out who said what.  No offense intended, none
taken, but please be more careful next time.
