In article <3576@lanl.gov> jlg@lanl.gov (Jim Giles)
continued the great debate.

(1) I owe readers an apology for not changing the subject line.

(2) Mr Giles now reveals that his condemnation of my suggestion is not
    so much for its present half-baked form as for what some hypothetical
    standards committee *might* do to it.  Well, of course, they could
    make it arbitrarily bad.  I can't think of any defence against that
    method of judgement.

(3) Correcting <3576@anl.gov> wouldn't get us anywhere.  I repeat what
    I said in my previous message:  it is time that we had someone else
    in this discussion, or dropped it entirely.
