He's responding to a question that was posted by Sebastian Karlsson on
2009-11-17. I've no idea why he waited nearly four years to do so, but
on the other hand, according to Google groups, no one else answered the

message that Sebastian ever posted to this newsgroup, so he's unlikely
to still be monitoring it.
