This came in while I was still replying to your previous reply, so
I'm going to ignore this. Please allow at least 24 hours between
postings, and please allow discussion to finish before posting a
new version - give your reviewers adequate time to compose a reply
bearing in mind that timezones might get in the way, but also making
supper (as is the case in this instance) may cause several hour delay
in reply.

Thanks.
