OK, I get the argument.
Well, technically a git repository is better even in this aspect, as
it is inherently self-verifying :-)
But no worries, we will keep FTP if there are people who find it
useful.

I wrote my name at the top of the page. I wrote down the number of
the question ``1''. After much reflection I put a bracket round it
thus ``(1)''. But thereafter I could not think of anything connected
with it that was either relevant or true.
