Seppo,

        What venom, for no reason. I only posted to:

        1. Give the correct dates for the two maps you'd inadvertently
mis-dated;

        2. Thank you for the map site from which they came.

        I snipped the reference to the third map because I wasn't
commenting on it. I was genuinely pleased with your post,
especially the maps.

        But, of course, please feel free to blow up at anything you
please. You certainly know my motives and interests better than
I do.
