I have returned from my travels.  I've received many kind notes
regarding my "well earned time off".  Thanks!  Its good to be back.

We have many new subscribers tonight so let me point out that there
were no Digests published between 98.09.28 and 98.10.03.  Back issues
may be viewed using the Indexed MMD Archives at:

There was only time to edit about half of the material which arrived
while I was gone, so if you don't see your submission below please
wait one more issue before resubmitting it.
