Excuse me, when you've been doing qabalah for thirty-five years you
take some wierd things for granted:

Baldanders Baldy

Ba    d rs
  ldan e       y

Bad SR Delany

Now, like I've said, I am not particularly passionately attached to this
little puzzle, and I put the whole thing forward as much as a wry
comment on the wrangling over minutiae which, in my opinion, badly
infests this list at the possible expense of serious discussion as for
any other reason.

But I think there is actually better evidence for it than for most of
the similar wrangling that does go on much of the time.
