	Thank you very much; your words greatly honor me, good sir.

	LOL!

	As always, if you (or anyone else here) have any questions about the
timeline, please feel free to contact me (on or off list). I may not be
able to get to them this week (I'm starting work on *Horrors of the Weird
West*), but I always answer them as quickly as I can.

	That's pretty much always the case, even though for my money, he deserves
to be mentioned in the same breath as Lee, Jackson and Forrest. If you
decide to use him at some point, please feel free to contact me--there was
a lot of great stuff I didn't have room for in *TOT:77*!

	Please do, even though that wouldn't be Cleburne. (He hailed from County
Cork, and never butchered Indians.)

	Please accept my sincerest apologies, and consider me properly chastened.;-)

	Thanks for the reply!
