[sorry, I sent the previous version in html!]

Speaking of nomenclature rules .....

Why didn't omicron 1 and 2 Cygni retain their Bayer-letter names and were named V695 and V1488 Cygni????

Why these appear to be a couple of only a few examples.??? Eta Car is still eta Car and not V2000 Carinae ;-))))
