Ben - Just a quick note of thanks for all the work you've done with Sher's Russian Index. It *is* a difficult, unending, and often thankless job, however, I'm just one of MANY who frequently use the Index as a starting point and it has helped me (and many others!) immensely!! Bol'shoe spassibo, Ben!! Devin / Divan Devin P Browne dpbrowne+ at pitt.edu
