This is my third posting on palindromes - palindromes which were sent
to me or
which I found on the Internet. I am still receiving more, and above all
I am
hoping for more in French, Italian and Spanish, and I will go on
collecting them
and publishing them for all. Thanks to all for their many contributions
!!!
