Right. I was trying to summarize the discussion so far. So what you
wrote is in the summary. I thought about attributing each piece, but
writing it like "Yakow brought up the question ... to which Alan replied
... and Peter objected, that ..." seemed a bit silly. I didn't want to
steal anyone's ideas, and if it came over like that, I apologize.
