    No problem.

    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".
