Guys, first of all, I personally *highly* welcome the community to step up like you did in this case. There's no need to wait for the PMC to tell some seriously mis-behaving subscriber to watch his language. Thanks for that!
Oh, and just in case -- this is not about words, but meaning and intention. ;) On Tue, 2009-09-15 at 10:11 +1200, Michael Hutchinson wrote: > > From: Charles Gregory [mailto:cgreg...@hwcn.org] > > Good users all.

We are listening -- though not constantly monitoring, and doing this in our spare time. Things might slip under the radar. Sorry. :/ Please feel free to directly ping the list owners or use some other channel to quickly trigger the PMC's attention if need be. Rather than just posting yet another message to an already crowded thread. The latter is exactly where your call for authority is much more likely to go unnoticed for a while. If you're calling for the police, don't stand in the crowd and ask where they are. Call 'em! > Sure we can Ignore it.

I've taken care of this... guenther -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu...@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
