Sorry, I did not intend my comment to rub you the wrong way (or any of my previous comments that might have). FWIW, I think that you are doing a lot of good stuff for the SIAI, probably most of it invisible to an ordinary forum regular. I realize that you cannot afford spending extra two hours per post on polishing the message. Hopefully one of the many skills of your soon-to-be-hired executive assistant will be that of "optimizing presentation".

Indeed. Much invisible work is required before optimization can occur. Invisible forging of skills precedes their demonstration.
