(My response is unconstrained.)

Kudos to Jonnie303 and Ken, and thanks for solving my
puzzle! Clicking on Google's "Find other posts"
button I see both of you have solved my puzzles
in the past, often with very clever solutions.

Apologies to Ken for not noticing the small error
in his post. I do have a simple executable for
testing such passages, however the executable runs
only on Unix and I read Usenet only on Windows.
I won't waste time looking for a Linux driver
for my cell-phone Internet connection: it's so
dreadfully slow (Note 1) I'm likely to throw the
cell-phone against the wall any day now!

Note 1: Actually the connection is plenty fast
enough for what I *want* to view, but not fast
enough to cope with the huge armadas of ads,
stylesheets and javascripts "needed" these days
to display a few sentences of simple text.

Mentioning subsequences provided a very big hint (assuming that I have
truly solved your puzzle). Also, writing this way is a lot harder than I
assumed it would be; kudos!
