    I am sorry for my out-of-date informations about the BNC, and I am
    very pleased to here fresh good news about it.
    I have to admit that I have'nt thoroughly traversed the BNC Baby
    presentation. That's why I wrote a 'MAY suffer' in my comments.

    Please don't consider my paragraph about the BNC Baby in my previous
    mail, I was clearly off the point. Nevertheless, I think the "time consuming"
    part of it is not completely false.

    I remain jealous of the quality of the control of the empirical data
    available for the English language.
