Hi Eric Thank's for the enlightenment. :-) I am yet another example of somebody who don't know their basics in maths, who enjoys playing around with things that would be impossible, if there hadn't been some kind of a linear mathematical devellopment through out history - and somebody who were bright enough to build on the legacy . I've heard his name before - but didn't think of neither the mathematical logic in why Eric uses this syntax in his plugin - nor the etymological connection between the word and the famous mathematical genius, whose name, I suppose, has become a normal expression in english.. i have several collegues, teachers - who really would enjoy this conversation (and my role in it...) about what's common knowledge... So I stop here - knowing I should know better..... - and continue my adventures with plugins from the you smart guys! - I really enjoy this TiddlyWikiThink - even though the only word I can come up with for my latest compilation is "SicklyWikki" (a sickleave-TiddlyWiki made in iTW) - couldn't You give me a better name? - maybe BooleanWiki - so I don't forget ;-)
