Dear Ven. Sobhana,

My apologies for not answering your request earlier - I've been
travelling. I sent out to the list at the beginning of this series the
list of abbreviations I am using. I presume this is accessible
somewhere from the group's website. But here it is again, repeated
below, for all who missed it the first time around.

With metta,
John
