I concede. I believe others have said it all along, but the above
wording seals the matter in my mind - I was misinterpretting things.
I can't say I like general partial orders, I prefer strict partial
orders, which are irreflexive, and don't have these problems.
Sorry for gibbering.
Whilst it means my entry is valid, it doen't help me make it less
pathetic. :-(
I'm _frightened_ by the ease at which so many people have managed to
get in the very low 100s. You guys are just unbelievable. And the
sub-80s - not of this earth...
