  Relf's subject changes have become his subject matter. Ours too.
Crappy!

  Question: would it trouble those of you who sort/collate/flib-flub
on references rather than subject if Relf *didn't* change the subject
line? Because that is the simple to pointy hatted, gum-bleedingly,
live-television-broadcast-about-my-knees type of straight-forward
request that folks have repeatedly made of him.
  Silver lining: It does take one's mind off of all those exceedingly
annoying 'open questions in physics'.
