Well, gee.

(i)	I went back and re-read your postings, and it is indeed
	obvious (in hindsight) that you were referring to Gibbon,
	although I cannot for the life of me figure out how I
	missed it.  Thank you for your patience.
(ii)	I did read the whole comment, more than once.
(iii)	I am a serious poster, contrary to (most) public opinion.
