Hi

   I am trying to think of a quick and simple way to find out if a number 
appears only in consecutive fashion once.  In other words, a function that 
will return true if a particular number in a list appears only consecutively 
once.

For example:  Does "2" appear only in consecutive fashion?

(1,2,2,2,3)  = True;    (1,2,2,3,4,2) = False

(1,2,2,3,4,2,2,) =  False <-- consecutive but appears more than once

(1,2,3,4,5,2,2,2,2,2) = False ( see previous reason)

(1,2,3,4)  = true <---  appearing only once is okay


I would appreciate any help with this problem.  thanks alot


charles
