Hi Marty, Edith, and Hi Joe, I was tired and prowlin' the floor (a 30 year colleague just had open heart surgery, complications set in, and last evening he had to have both legs amputated due to blood clots and blocked circulation) and so I turned on the PC and answered a couple of requests to look up online journals and why there is a critical drug shortage. Less than an hour later I read Joe's post about his library and the diminished paper journal resources. My autoresponse was to Forward the Journal URL's I had retrieved from bookmark files earlier. Just maybe Joe's missing paper journals are now available online. I wasn't tryin' to be smart or one up Joe. Ya gotta be kidding! I have the utmost respect for Joe and feel he is a friend since we have conversed from time to time via e-mail over the past 4 or 5 years.... I hope this is not misunderstood. Best regards ......... murray On 11 Apr 2001, at 15:42, Marty Polonsky wrote: > Despite your obviously formdable eruditon, I think that youo missed the > pdoint.
