Tuesday it is, David.  I build the list after our first weekend of 
singing: rehearse Friday, funeral and two performances Saturday, 
rehearsal (different choir) on Sunday, two out of town performances and 
one in town.  Only 40 performances to go between now and December 16th, 
but at least I don't have to sing much tenor this year (I'm able to sing 
from D below the bass clef to G in the treble in natural voice, and 
choirs in my area are chronically short of tenors, so I help out where I 
can, but the air gets might thin up there!), and my goal of more public 
cello performances than Rostropovich has already been met.

I must have forgotten to change the status to "Countdown" on Thursday, 
David, as I generally do so before sending the patch batch.  BTW, and 
for guidance, I turn off the separate e-mail notification when I set a 
patch to countdown, and just send the single email to devel; would the 
developers prefer I leave the "send email" tag on, so that the list gets 
both the batch message and also individual messages for each patch?  I 
can foresee developers putting filters in place for their own issue 
numbers, and a list would defeat this.  Would they let me know what 
works best , please?

Cheers,
Colin
