Morning, all!

        (Rats, looks like my email line lengths were too long.  BTW,
just because a digest looks fine in any particular email program, doesn't
mean that it is 'well formed'; it just might be screwed up in a way that
your mailer also screws things up, and so double-backed-unscrewed purely
by chance for one or two people... I think this is the root of many a
mangled posting on this and other emailing lists. )

        Who are you calling silly? :-) Actually, I thought niccolo was a
masculine name, so now I _am_ confused!

> I hope you are having a great holiday season!

        Just winding up to start the first day of it now... Hope you
all had a Kewl Yule yesterday :-)

        But, (to channel Stefan for a moment, with his permission),
why does it need to be brine? Why not some unsalted liquid?

        Don't know if it would work to the UK anyhow, but there weren't
any copies available when I checked.

        All the best!
