Thank you BB.

you're welcome. and thank you. been a pleasure interacting with you.

You missed the place where I corrected the spelling of Ste Hélène.   That's 80.

or 78, depending on how you count, since i stripped it to "helene". ;+)

Here, the correct spelling "seigneur" was used several other places in the text.  It seemed reasonable to correct this as a typo.

you're absolutely correct. and see how we join xeno in our approach to perfection? for all of you lurkers following along with all the drama here, i might add that gardner caught a lot of errors in the p-book, especially regarding quotemarks they'd missed. he is sharp... -bowerbird
