	Thanks for this!  I didn't know this.

	Greg, I know that there is history here; indeed there is "history"
	<sigh>, if you know what I mean.

	But we are all in the same general area(except those who are
	farflung, and they know who they are), we all have much
	the same interest(but lots of different ideas and points of
	view and knowledge).   What I'm calling for, and I hope not in
	vain, is for you and the Tux honchos(they know, I hope, who
	they are) to get together and work things out for the good of
	all of us.

	I want Humpty Dumpty put back together again.  If I, and maybe
	Angelo Bertolli, are the only ones calling for this, then it
	ain't gonna happen.  And that would be a pity.

	So -- now turning to the rest of us -- I hope that you will
	speak up.

Best wishes to all,

Alan
