Hi James, |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Sorry for such a terse, if not rude, response. You did, however, get the |
| 41 |
meaning and respond accordingly. ;) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I'm familiar with Donald Knuth The Art of Computer Programming, TeX, etc. And |
| 44 |
now that you've delved into some of the better reasons, I'm all ears. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Still, I would have highly chastised someone calling me about this in the |
| 47 |
middle of the night. Even if it were one of my friends 13 time zones away. ;) |
| 48 |
|

Cheers, |
