    If I understood "the way of things", this list (KOF listserv) is no
longer in time...KOF seems a "cough"...
    Without jokes, very curious the study. I must confesse that I liked know
that my initials (FF) in French is also like the masonic abbreviattion to
"Brother".
    If the difference for positive between negatives significance is near 7
years, I hope can be useful this extra-years.
