Sorry, folks, I was pushing just a little too hard today, having gotten out three issues of RISKS, one before starting work this morning, one during lunch break, and one just before now, along with getting my normal workload attended to. Unfortunately, RISKS-11.82 should have been RISKS-11.81. The file name was RISKS-11.81, but the issue said it was RISKS-11.82. So, RISKS-11.82 it has become. The easiest way out now is for me to declare that THIS APOLOGY is really RISKS-11.81, and then get on with RISKS-11.83 (but not today!). Thanks for your patience today. I hope I do not get too many desubscriptions for having flooded your mailboxes. (I suppose I could blame the hot weather, but it is still very pleasant here.) Let me take this gratuitously serendipitous opportunity to thank all of you who have been applying the masthead standards fairly diligently of late. The rate of acceptable contributions has recently been much higher. But then it always tends to vacillate cyclically, depending upon the "subject:" matter. PGN
