well seconding your own seconding i should say
& nice to see how one of our favorite spinoff sites
has fructified too
& yes my reference to 18443ff definitely extended as
far as 18575f
& now extends as far as 19549 if not also f or ff
again
tho i was already fully satisfied myself for
multipointing purposes by 18518 & its immediate ffs
still
i confess i remain at least a little curious to hear
tell or see a pic of one of these most elusive
diminutive unenhanced & most likely nonmultipunctive
lams bumps
& hope that is of some encouragement to jack or robert
& yourself
