Oh. I just wondered what the connection was between him being incommunicado and the election. Apparently it is only a temporal coincidence . . .
Sorry, folks, as Ronn was responding to something of mine and the subject line had "OFF-LIST" in it, I thought I was only replying to Ronn. :P (Need to check headers more carefully in the future!) William gave a better answer than I did. (And I'd've read through all the other messages with the same subject header before posting if I had been paying better attention. Teach me to reply to e-mail after a World Series game....)
Well, apparently it was originally MY bad: I MEANT to send it just to Julia, as I figured the answer might be something that I had somehow missed that everyone else here already knew. When I realized what I had done, I went and took a nap. MAYBE now my brain will work a little better . . .

I never dreamed that I would see the last.
