I don't think Ludwig Plutonium will be able to reply to your 
posting. Apparently his account has been terminated or suspended 
after complaints against something he wrote about the " New York 
Times ".

What both you and Ludwig fail to acknowledge is that pen & paperwork 
cannot be propagated with the ease of Internet material.
