Lee,
You do seem to be on the list. If everyone apologized for nearly content-free posts, the number of nearly content-free posts would be greatly multiplied.
The word manifold is certainly not being used in its mathematical sense when Epping Forest is called a manifold. I think it means a collective noun there, so that "all this" means the collection of all this, not the individual components of all this. Still, I would be interested in what you have to say.
--John

Before attempting a substantive reply to this post, I am
going to try posting to the list to see if I *am* indeed on
the list. John, do you know for sure that you are on the
list? If not, you might try the same...
(Apologies to all if, in fact, I am on the list, and
everyone gets this nearly content-free post.)
