[Retros] Re: Champagne 2004 (not Summer 2003 Contest)

[Noam Elkies]

Dear Michel,

About two weeks ago I sent you another attempt at a version
of my Champagne-2004 SPG without obtrusive force.  Did you
receive it?  So far I don't think I got a reply with either
confirmation, cook, or complaint that it's now too hard for Natch.
I hope Natch hasn't been working on it since then...  I append
the version again in case you didn't get my first message.

Sincerely,
--Noam D. Elkies
