Huh?  There is nothing in your message that cites anything I wrote - it cites
nothing written by anyone, in fact.

So please do not introduce your message that way, as it is misleading.  What you
write is presumably to someone else and apparently has nothing to do with me or
anything I have written.

Thanks.  I followed the tutorial for the first time in the mid 1980s, and I have
done so again several times since then, among other reasons to suggest
improvements.

Thanks again.  Always good advice, even for those who have read it again and
again.

Thank you.  Good luck to you too. ;-)
