I obsolve you from the sin of ignorance, because neither I nor the
OED know, either. No, I didn't know the word 'obsolve' until I
tried looking up 'obsolibrance'.

Sorry Chris, your Yahoo address fell into my spamtrap so I didn't see
your post.

If that wan't a rhetorical question, a GWB contractificulation or
telescopulation /GWB of obsolete and libra.

Buy OED today, require new edition tomorrow.
