No, that was a "by the way." It was a reply to the "we can never be up to
date, so why bother anyway?" It is a by-product of my being old and
garrulous.

Just got the same thing again. 3x w, which could be www. but 119
doesn't appear in the ASCII table at all, and the next ones are
.l "&" + another nonexistent one. The complete line runs off the

them.
