Once I realized that I had chopped off the last few
characters by copying and pasting, I found it.
Beautiful Web design, indeed!
That supply of [uu]s should last me for months, or longer.
Thank you!

Oh, *dear*! Apologies! I do try hard to be an
internationalist, aware of the rest of the world, contrary to
the ways of many of those also born here. Slipped, this time.
Btw, there would be a better time to say it, in light of the
gaffe above, but as a practical matter (and my intentions are
not, I assure you, chauvinistic!), the world's lingua franca
is really now lingua anglia.
