Dear Mike,

I do not recall whether I've already replied to your review, sorry if this
is a duplicate.

There are two common styles -- define each term on first use, or provide
a terminology section.  I happen to prefer the former style, you obviously
prefer the latter.  With your kind permission, I am going to stick to my
preferred style, and therefore not follow your advice.

Thanks,

-- Juliusz
