Yak:    (04)

  Nothing to report from the yak list. If you've not already done

  your interest in collaboration. I have, for example, heard some
  of Eric Armstrong's health-related reasons but there are a lot of
  other people in the group.    (05)

====
  In a separate, but related, thread Peter Jones provided some
  comments on the "look and feel" of Purple Numbers stating, "[t]he
  numbers don't actually need to appear for the user to see."    (020)

Dangling Threads    (030)
