I admire your explanation(s) a lot and was already wondering about the discrepancy you point at. You are verbose but to the point and interesting, at least for me. A few more of this posts and they can be gathered in the book "A (not so concise) introduction to the (concise) programming language J", by Dan Bron.
Apart from that, your verboseness often teaches me English words which are new to me. Like 'condescension' this time. Thanks for everything. R.E.

Is it strange that I prefer J for its brevity, while being a verbose man? I often post detailed messages "for the sake of the community". It's almost like writing up a FAQ entry. I do it in the hope of helping lurking newbies and archives searchers. I just wanted say that so no one thinks I'm talking down to them, especially veteran Jers who might take such a level of detail as condescension. -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
