Page History
17 November 2025. Upgrade from Classic Sites. The conversion had left the page intact, with no major presentation issues. However, each line had additional space inserted (present in the old presentation), which only serves to bloat the page, albeit insignificantly. I corrected this manually. Given that the page was formed in 2005 and has not changed since then, the page is in need of updating. There have been other books that affect the assessment. Also, I have subsequently seen the microfiches (and other material) that will undoubtedly affect the following discussions. To be updated at my convenience. However, whether this ideal will be realised is a moot point. Since the time of return (2025), I do not recall a single enquiry on this, or indeed, any of my Escher-themed writings! Such a lack of interest is disparaging and hardly encourages a return, here and elsewhere, beyond personal satisfaction of a task well done.
