The very first reference I can find to either soprano or sesame on this
list is Rex's message. Perhaps you can point out some earlier discussion
here?

Because it hasn't been said before?

If you think that, you haven't been paying attention. Go back and read
my original message on this.

I *know* I can ask, I *know* I can Google, I *know* I can use "yum
info". All I'm trying to say is that all this exchange could have been
avoided by 2 seconds thought before making the original announcement. I
wasn't even lambasting Rex particularly, just using his post as an
example. As my original message said, this is something that happens
elsewhere as well and I was making a general point.
