I like the sound of that.  :)

It's OK to read the spec.  It's better than warm milk for insomnia.

Bill, you do so much work that I'll take your changes on ancient Egyptian
papyrus if that's how you want to do it.  (Safe offer, doubt you'll take me
up on that one.)  Easiest would be if you'd upload it to sf patches.  That
way you don't have to chase my mail tail.

Oh, my, no.  The world abounds with need for new talent.  Let's hope she
reinterprets Beethoven or harnesses lightning or frees China or thinks of
something we can't.  You never know, you know.  Einstein was a Swiss clerk
until he redefined light and waved farewell to the 19th century.
