- I do not have a copy of the text in question, have no intention of
- disturbing profs X,Y, or Z on this matter, and have no interest in trying
- to get you to part with $300, though I admit I was tempted for a while.
-
- If someone can mail me a copy of the referenced posting, perhaps we
- can settle this without a wager.
