Sure. But there is always the option to not reply at all. That takes even less time. Or the mixed strategy: postpone answering (mark as unread or similar) and see if somebody else does it in time. And I was not entirely joking when providing Carl with a stock answer I consider more conducive in most of the situations where he would answer like he did. Yes, a stock answer is never a fabulous thing to get, but if a stock answer it is going to be, putting something nice into ~/stock might give slightly better payoff. Whatever. I have currently a few syntax projects in my Lilypond pipe, so it is unlikely that I will work on topological sorting anytime soon (which is basically what this is about). -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
