Of course, but it's comforting to know there's someone in the community whom
we might hope will know the answers to questions that arise. :-)  FFR, what

Mathematician: noun, someone who disavows certainty when their uncertainty
set is non-empty, even if that set has measure zero.

Hope: noun, that delusive spirit which escaped Pandora's jar and, with her
lies, prevents mankind from committing a general suicide.  (As interpreted
by Robert Graves)
