[Steve Brady]

Dennis,
Yes, I'm sorry I wasn't more detailed in my announcement. I certainly

authors to ask if they have anything to add or subtract from whatever
they wrote. I hope people will continue to comment freely, without fear
that their words may show up somewhere else in disfigured form!
