   No one is to blame.  Even the official library search engine of Kyoto
University fails (even repeatedly tried) with the keyword "vsnet" ;-)

   I have modified the extraction program to remove such a line.  However,
future unexpected newvar report formats may result some similar garbage.
If anyone is interested in adding more new variable stars to this list,
please feel free to post them to vsnet-newvar (new discovery announcement)
and/or vsnet-id (stars need to be added) using the same format as newvar.cat.
(We will maintain TmzV, HadV, MisV and other ones from Japanese colleagues;
so one doesn't need to post them).
