On the one hand, I am sorry about Malcolm's imminent extrication. I have
posted nothing to the thread, but I have followed it avidly, and have
particularly enjoyed Malcolm's posts (indeed the whole thread and the
posts of all participants). On the other hand, I already relish the
anticipation of the thread to come.
With many thanks for some great reads!!
