David, With a great deal of respect and admiration, I return to you a quote you once sent to me:
Wrangling down that attacking Rottweiler was actually not all that hard. It boils down to the same grips and holds we used to employ for killing lions when I was young.

Look it up folks! Seriously? My dad did all of his Theoretical Physics stuff including the scripts by fountain pen for probably more than 4 decades. And he is 4 years younger than Dijkstra (if you digged up the latter). He still does for his own work, though he switched to LaTeX for scripts and articles a few decades ago. I don't know how many bottles of ink and blotter rolls he may have used up over the years... -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
