... all of which is reassuring (I think), but the
"`0xA193,0x225F,0x22C8,0x2280" part still looks rather daunting. Need we
know anything about it?

Why I should be reluctant to take this on faith while blindly accepting the
rest of FB^3 (and a good deal more in this imperfect world, too) remains a
mystery. (The randomly-appearing signature, below, proves that Divine
Intervention is not always to be relied upon.)

Thank you both...
