This sounds a touch... ahem... never mind... it is early, I have
a stack of work, I must keep calm...

Let me just say, for my part, I am not really anywhere - think
John Lennon's Nowhere Man.

My "yet to get" was meant to refer to that story I was telling,
it is really incomplete...

Still, I found your subsequent remarks interesting and will study
them in due course. I return to my important educational work on
