Why not? One of the things about written language that's been interesting me for several years is that our body language and tone convey a great deal of meaning, but our written language has no standard markup for those things. I feel sorta like a Greek[1]. I'm not terribly fond of the punctuation abuse commonly used to communicate expression, but at the same time I'm fascinated to watch people evolving their written language to address some of the deficiencies that have existed for centuries. 1: I don't read Greek, but I'm told that old Greek had no punctuation or spacing. All of the text just flowed together, character after character, in one big block. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
