I made the same proposal recently, but got only negative replies. Assuming
the general consensus is still not to split the list, I will do my best to
give a simple, easy to follow explanation of Fokker periodicity blocks in
the very near future. The last thing I want to do is to be exclusive, but
it's hard to converse at 333 levels of math-experience. By the way, Dante,
these are JI, not ET!

I don't know why the message I sent on 10/8 got posted on 10/30. Bizarre!
