    The lads in 2a, NYCASD are, contrary to my forebodings,
    a jolly lucky lot; they're about to encounter the most lucid
    - & thereby most seductive - of instructors.

    But why, I cry with plaintive self-pity, did no one take up
    my own little nugget about the semi-colon as Greek question
    mark? I thought that was extraordinary. Did no one else?
    Really?

    I believe lower case alphas & betas & so on only appeared
    in Christian times, even Mediaeval, & that the ancient Hellenes
    wrote the whole lot down in capitals & even without gaps
    betweeen the words. So when were punctuation marks first
    used?

    For goodness sake, Robbie, where are you?

    Scottie B.
