Yikes, I did say I was "tentatively" delurking.  Witness
the following:

"Guoin II System was promulgated by Taiwan Ministry of
Education on Jan 28, 1986.  It is less used even in Taiwan."

I had never heard of the "Guoin II" system before!  I stand
chastened, and can only ask:  What is this world, erm,
"gouin to", when such as I presume to correct members of
ADS?

Thanks for the gentle kick in the pants!
