Dear Bill Findlay,

I owe you an apology. In March 2008 I tried to email
BillFindlay@BlueYonder.co.UK (which bounced but I checked for the
bounce message for the first time today) despite your rather clear tip
on what the real email address is.

Another mistake on my part. Sorry once again.

Your bafflement was justified.
