Oh, OK. I see that I've sort of assumed that most people are online
when they read Klarinet; but for ages I wasn't, so there's no reason why
I should assume anyone else is. (They mostly are in the US, though, I
think. Anyone there not? Who else is in Ian's position, just out of
interest?)

I take it that the habit of quoting URLs rather than recapitulating
arguments is on the whole approved, though?
