								   Dear
								   Mr. Leman,

								   I am sorry
								   you catched
								   the train
								   so late. I
								   refer you
								   to the
								   summary of
								   the
								   question I
								   placed on
								   this list
								   under the
								   Re: New SIL
								   Alias: WRAP
								   UP.
								   Without
								   trying to
								   be
								   impolite,
								   your
								   message
								   comes today
								   as
								   yesterday's
								   newspaper. It
								   can hardly
								   contribute
								   to the
								   issue now.

								   Sincerely,

								   J. Diego
								   Quesada
