I'm not entirely sure I did answer that question back then (I can't
find anything on a brief search). I might have done, so if you point
me to an e-mail I wrote to this list, I'll accept that. Even if I did,
no-one should have accepted it at face value, as I was likely just
giving an uninformed opinion (can you tag mailing list posts with
"citation needed"?). And any case, what SJ (Samuel Klein) has just
said is obviously much better informed!
