Ha ha ha! After three years I remember pretty damn little. I did a
search on the past year's messages to the list but clearly should
have searched farther back. Especially since I was the one who
brought it up last time!

And an excellent illustration of exactly how much recollection is
worth without hard data.

Man, though, it is surprising that something like that would have
deserted my memory entirely. Clearly I wanted to forget it...
