Both together? Yes, together, they're brilliant. Ron? Well now, I guess it's time for "the Usenet dyslexia summary" or perhaps "the Usenet reading comprehension failure stats" according to me: RoX - 0% of the time where 'X' is a typo Ron - only one time so far, AFAIR... Rob - dyslexic? 25% to 33% of the time Rod - correct. majority of the time XXX - zero Freudian slips so far ... So, most people _can_ read, just not all of them ... But, many just can't seem to get three letters correct. :-{ It's interesting, to me, that the dyslexic "Rob" comes up far more frequently in groups where there are more computer programmers. I'm left with no choice but to wonder how dyslexia affects a dyslexic's code. Is that why Forth programmers don't like C? I.e., they can't distinquish symbolic "+=" from "=+" or maybe it's ">>" from "<<" ? If your head hurts after reading that sentence, you might be a dyslexic ... (That last line should be read to the lyrical rhythm of a typical Jeff Foxworthy punchline. You've been "Foxworthied.") :-D In your case, I'm not sure how to explain away the "Ron" instead of the usual dyslexic "Rob" or the correct "Rod" except for carelessness ... The letter 'n' is on the opposite side of the keyboard from both 'b' and 'd'. You could only type 'n' if you were both visually and physically dyslexic. :-P Rod Pemberton -- Scientists now say we'll experience a mini-ice in 2030. So, I guess we need more global warming today ...
