01. (Just this one today:) Thanks for telling us it was a dead 
    (Nazi) body I wanted people to put some slugs into, David S.
    No harm done. The story is interesting too:

David Stevens wrote, on 29.01, under "M-G: a political **Virus 
Alert** for Marxists":

(Quoting me RM:)

[I actually am not a "comrade" of David S., who says his organi-

Thanks for that info too. I shall pass it on.
