Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to say I'm going to have to leave -- I have a concerto to write, and this fascinating list has set me back a week or so. Hopefully I'll be able to rejoin in the near future.

It's been a great discussion. I'm particularly happy with the realization that when academic theorists talk about "maximal evenness" (which is a property that only makes sense in a discrete context), they're really talking about two continuous properties: evenness, and the MOS/DE (or "dual generation") property.

Anyway, thanks again. Sorry to leave so soon!

DT

Your presence has been very stimulating, though it's too bad Paul
Erlich wasn't here at the time.
