    To the curious: I understand your curiosity, and would like to satisfy it.
    But I really don't think it would be appropriate or sensible for me to
    name individuals or institutions on a semi-public forum like USENET.
    To the disbelieving: If my word isn't good enough for you, I guess we'll
    both have to live with that.
