Well Glennie. Check the files. Unless of course you sent the email
off-list (like you did with this one). Your language is abysmal but if
that's the way you wish to portray yourself, then so be it.

If one has access to an academic library then they don't need to use the
internet, do they. But you are correct that the net needs a certain type of
scholar (one who doesn't think of himself as having the final word). Carry
on Glennie.

Best wishes,

Gerry
