If you know the word "pessimal" [malus, pejor, pessimus = bad, worse, worst], you should know that "most pessimal" is redundant - perhaps allowable for emphasis - and that "optimized to be pessimal" is so much an oxymoron it must be deliberate. But why not just say "pessimized"? ;-) -- Joe Yao ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is not an official statement of OSIS Center policies.
