I know it's lambda, but to me it's like the ⓒ symbol. When I need to use it I have to copy-paste it from somewhere else. I'm guessing as others have mentioned, if you didn't recognize the Greek letter or come in knowing some lisp then it's a wierd symbol that makes it harder to read the source. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
