I do not know how Mr. Long came by these dates.  The two messages in question
have the following headers (here repeated in full up to the point of departure
from toad.xkl.com)... >>

Actually, all I was doing was pointing out that I wasn't the only one crazy
enough to repeat the ion-eimi relationship.  I was NOT trying to make a
federal case out of it.  And I should point out that I wouldn't fault Douglas
Kilday or his post for it since I probably got it from Lidell-Scott, which is
what he also cited.

All I was trying to do was reassure this particular moderator/member of the
list that - if it is a mistake, I wasn't the first one who ever made it.  As
far as the rough treatment, I've consulted my doctors and they say that once
again I'll live.

As far as the mystery of where I got these dates from -- again to reassure
the moderator and anyone on this list that I am playing fast and loose with
e-mail documentation - the answer is the dates are automated.  The
documentation is below.

Once again, there was no real criticism of moderator or any list member meant
here.  This was really just a bit of a defensive observation.
