     Wow, that's a compliment!

    I see K is footnoted, as well; you should probably write in to Paul and

    mention that there are some better websites for K. The one he's pointing to

    is interesting, but largely incomprehensible and somewhat negative (not a

    good way to get one's first exposure to K). I'm not sure if it's possible to

    build a compehensible website about K, but your website is definitely

    positive, so it would be a good replacement.

    (I'm kidding a bit -- I like your website and find it well worth the study,

    but it's definitely NOT for beginners.)

    No progress on any of my programming projects, but my new son is progressing

    very well indeed. 8 pounds 11 ounces at birth and growing nicely; even

    tempered and regular in his habits. And, IMO, extremely cute.
