Dear list-members,
Two days ago Nina posted the message below which was meant for psg. I had
thought it was directed to me only but from her second message it became
obvious that her two messages were meant for the whole group. So I have
forwarded her two messages plus my response to the first one. My apology for
failing to notice the to: line with 'pali study Moderator' for the first
message.
Jim
