This gives me a good chance to explain something that may be
puzzling some of you. DistList headings are subject to a (casual but
fairly consistent) form of subject authority, mainly so that
searching will return consistent results. All references to
"poly(vinyl acetate)" (and variations thereof), are--in subject
headings only, not in the body of message--changed to "polyvinyl
acetate", the form in use in AATA at the time the DistList started.
