WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! Shame on me for not checking, and shame on list-members who should have known and didn't spot my mistake. Gamma is written as.... the Greek letter gamma, of course. Sort of like a handwritten "y" but with a loop in the tail. I wonder how many other goofups I'll need to correct. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In reply, John Francis wrote: > And what about those of us who spotted it, but didn't consider it > worth correcting a minor error in a parenthetical aside?

I did assume that some of us would be familiar with the terms, but it never entered my head that anyone recognising the error would let it pass uncommented. I should be grateful that I got to make my own correction, but I'm sorry if it seemed I thought nobody else ~knew~ the correct symbol for gamma. A mix of sleep deprivation and overmedication for an autumn flu, led to my omission of the all forgiving smiley. That's one more goofup to add to my tally. regards, Anthony Farr
