apologies for a confusion

Subscribers, please accept my apologies for a mistake that was 
made by at least one reader looking at Atanu Garai's message of 
Tuesday evening.  In it, Garai said:

I have left in the ugly marks, because they gave rise to the 
error. Garai said that 75K papers would require authors to pay 
about 100M in UK pounds, more than the 90M in UK pounds they 
currently pay in library subscriptions.  The "=A3" character 
represents the British pound sign.  The listserving software of 
this world (we use listproc) has lagged behind the power of 
mailers, and so whenever readers send mail with various 
diacritical marks, "smart quotes", and the like, we risk getting 
those =20 signs and other gibberish.  The moderator tries to 
clean them out, and then cleans them out again when they make it 
the archive, but usually they do not obstruct understanding; in 
this case I'm sorry to say they did.
