    it is. I checked with the original now-yellowing and brittle source.

    I wonder if we who went off on the "Selton" path weren't manifesting a
    meme-like transmission. (I say 'meme-like' in that in our definition of
    'meme' we include a conscious effort to launch the meme; I know that not
    everyone includes this element in their definition.)

    Cheers
