Thanks Flesch for the biographical note. I won't try to explain that I'd
been ordering Hahnemuel (or however you spell it) paper and figured one Ha
from Germany was same as another. I just figured folks would appreciate a
really stupid careless mistake from these quarters.

The Hahnemuel paper is very nice too, BTW.

Cheers,
