G'day!
Counterpoint looks possible, but remember that it was probably a 2

years ago...
Thanks for the link and suggestion, though.

I'm pleased that A.S. hasn't been forgotten, then. I hadn't put that
together before, but I had long had the impression that he had been a
lot more important than he was given credit for. There's been a tendency
to be dismissive of his achievements -- he sort of suffered from the
ABBA effect.
