First: tlhIjghachwIj yIlajneS. It's been a while since I read the
"list charter" and on referring to it I find I was out of line. For my
defense, I can only say that I saw the Captain post several messages
to the effect of "why doesn't someone else have a go at this correction?"
I jumped the gun.
Second: I have no access to HolQeD (yet); I'm going completely by TKD
at this point, so I had no idea about this "lack of transitivity"
issue. How many of these articles do you have on line? I would like to
see all of them. Perhaps a generous soul could put them in a publicly
accessible place, so that others don't need to make these mistakes
time and again.
