Thank you, Frank, immensely useful. I've very grateful for the time you spent composing your reply. And thank you for fixing my name (nope, no brother named Tok, his name is Steve.)

But disingenuous? No. Perhaps a little hyperbolic.

I found Lecky's Julius Cesear comment mentioned in a number of places. It seemed he was famous for it, so I said so.

The same is true for the Stark Tables. I found numerous references to how helpful they were, so I said so.

I remained puzzled by your irascible opinion of Murchie. He seems to have impressed everyone but his first wife and you.
