That's a very close replica of the one that Marco & I got. I was ready to fold, but Marco questioned his identity and turned out to be right.

Mostly I post the full text of stuff that's short (one screen of text), or available only with subscription; otherwise, a summary or opening paragraph plus URL is best. If the copyright owners complain, we can take it out of the archives.
