THANKS, FOR A SIMPLE CHANGE – A LOOK BACK (((-;  
Hey, just thought I’d remark at the nice flow into the  
world of knotting that we wrought by the simple change  
some time ago at the urging of Derek et al. to define  
our discussions by a few simple categories. Below we  
see how nicely the grouped topics are working.
