Thanks for that anecdote and information, Stephen. Yep, that could explain
it. Great. I don't like mysteries which remain to bug my head.

I'd like to put a plug in here for a friend's book: Andrew Taylor's
COLLECTED POEMS, pub. SALT. There was a great review in the Weekend
Australian from Barry Hill, so Australians can now buy it for $33. It is
huge - over $600 pages. Some of the recent poems are just wonderful -
written about kayaking on the hidden reaches of the Swan River, etc, and
about his near-death experience with cancer just a couple of years ago. Go
get it. It's a very interesting collection to read from front to back.
