Just to keep the pipes exercised
[I suspected that I'd been cut-off of cat-list
[what's happening in the 1st-world/N-hemisphere
'for' no cat-list-traffic ?] ]

I'm asking what's Minimac's minimal-syntax ?

I/we don't just go off to httpS on a whim.
ANNs should contain minimum info to justify
further effort investment.

How would it:
remove all sequences of lines,
starting from <string1> upto <string2> ?

== TIA.
