[seqfan] Re: "Types/lengths of runs" in binary numbers

[Leroy Quet]

I said: 'By "types" of runs, it is meant that..' 
I probably should have said 'by "a combination of the lengths of runs", it is meant that..', or something a little more accurate as well as clear.

Sorry, English is my second language. Babbling incoherently is my first....
