It is not. If it were obvious *I* would have noticed it myself when editing the
table that was part of the submission. While I still wonder why in this day and
age Bj”rn's softwae is so harsh and dumb that it totally rejects an article if
a single line exceeds 70 characters, instead of dealing with it in a more
intelligent and relaxed way, I fully accept that the error was mine. And so I
have taken steps to make sure it does not happen again.


Cheers, Michiel
