Now come on Simon! How do we know that Ken *didn't* write it? ;)
It's perfectly possible. Although what I'd like to know is why he said
that
*I* plagiarised him. I'd always assumed that it was because it was
such a
short piece of code that it was easy to duplicate by accident. Now,
maybe, I
have to consider that he ripped it off from me - otherwise why would Bob
arrogantly start bitching about me ripping it off from a *fictitious*
person?
Simon, I was only joking mate! :) I'm sure you did write it, and if Bob
had written it too, I'm sure he would have been more than glad to
publish it under his own name, rather than using a pseudonym (after all,
we were always pushing him to back up his claims of his coding
abilities, which he never did to my knowledge). I was being sarcastic
Si :)
