Thanks for the correction. I also seem to have produced the same
suggestion as Derek Holt had earlier. My excuse is that I used a
modem connection from home, and decided to only download a few hundred
latest headers. Consequently the thread was split into several parts
(so I missed Holt's answer) and the OP was missing completely.

Ok. As my penance I will write 50 times 'Don't answer a group theory
question, unless you have double-checked that your contribution hasn't
already been pointed out by others!

Cheers,
