One should note Hans' reference to the gala dinner, which is better characterized by an excess of dishes of food than by an excess of alcohol. We have an opportunity to make up for this missed occasion this year by attending the annual ConTeXt meeting. Of course, these two meetings are complementary and ideally one should aim at attending *both*. As to the Dutch left and right thumbs, the French word is also "pouce" for the length of an inchworm. My question is, what is the appropriate unit for inching forward or inching along? Would this be one inch per fortnight?
