For me it's not convincing or even relevant. His novices were obviously different then mine, but in any case it doesn't matter. The fonc guys should just use what ever they want and feel most comfortable with and the rest of us can simply change to what makes sense for us. E.g. if for some strange reason they choose to go with the confusing math rules then that will be the first default I override. _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
