Thanks Rochita. But this reminds me to say to ALL REVIEWERS --

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

for your participation. GR doesn't have a permanent staff of reviewers (as I was explaining to someone yesterday). I'm just perched here on a faraway mountain hoping for generosity from other internet travelers and so I am grateful that you opted to pay attention to this project.

I don't even know many of you reviewers -- so I am particularly gratified for your help (not that I'm not grateful either for some critic-pals whose elbows I twisted (Hi Tom, Hi Barry) to contribute. Anyway,

THANK YOU, REVIEWERS.

And I hope you and others continue to participate for future issues.

Eileen
