And added: "I understand that Americans have coined a kindly euphemism for that kind of lapse, as a "senior moment". " Think nothing of it, George. We ALL forget things we've posted on this list. As I wrote once before, mailing lists like this are 'ephemeral things'. The same topics pop up again and again and people repeat themselves sometimes and despite the seeming permanence of the list archives, it's all gone and forgotten in weeks or months. As for age, I don't think THIS aspect of age is relevant in any way. As I said (as explicitly as I possibly could), the main "age issue" is simply one of "common culture". -FER http://www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
