The fundamental length l and the Immirzi parameter $γ$ determine each other. With any l the entropy formula is rendered most naturally in units of the length gap sqrt{{sqrt 3}/2} (sqrt{gamma} l). Independently of the choice of l, the black hole entropy derived from quantum geometry in the limit of classical geometry is completely consistent with the Bekenstein-Hawking form. The extremal limit of 1-puncture states of the quantum surface geometry corresponds rather to an extremal string than to a classical horizon.4 pages compact revtex format, few sentences straightenedGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
