Sorry about that.  It shows that I lack the bandwidth necessary to
go through fine toothed comb on all the topics I queue.  Perhaps I
should be more selective and queue only the ones I personally had
enough bandwidth to look over (or have seen clear "I looked each and
every line of this series with fine toothed comb, put reviewed-by:
me" messages sent by trusted reviewers) while ignoring others?

I dunno.

Thanks.
