The perils of proof-reading

[William Ryan]

John - I couldn't wait for the afternoon, so I took a peek. What a 
splendid new word - one has to wonder though what the force of the 
prefix po- might be in this case. And how appropriate that the 
publication was in Tula. However, I am also working through a large pile 
of proofs and can see why you might be worried - 60,000 r. per missed 
typo is pretty steep. Perhaps we should stop taking coffee-and-seelangs 
breaks. Thanks - still laughing.
Will
