Broadcasting live from Mars, here's ace reporter les@chinet.chi.il.us (Leslie Mikesell): >Picking an "unusual" character combination for a delimiter is sort of >like saying that the faster cars go through an intersection, the less >likely it is that there will be a collision. I don't see the analogy. I would contend that it's more like saying that if an intersection has a sufficiently small amount of cross-traffic, the odds of a collision are low enough not to warrant a traffic signal. Dunno about you, but lots of intersections where I live are uncontrolled... -- Stewart -- "I had no message and the message was, 'we're all Jesus, Buddha and the Wizard of Oz'!" -- Andy Partridge (XTC) /* uunet!sco!stewarte -or- stewarte@sco.COM -or- Stewart Evans */
