okay, this is too funny to let it pass unmentioned.
we have a piece of software that parses classified ads and puts
them online. it's a bit balky, and none of the people in the
field understand how it works in more than cookbook/checklist
terms (and they don't follow those). we've been having lots of
problems with one paper in particular, because they kept
changing the classified headings without telling us.
we just got it fixed, but here's an excerpt from the final report:
> Some minor changes in the original classified dump were causing
> the parser to associate ads with the wrong sub categories, i.e.,
> personals were appearing with cemetery lots.
and here i thought the standard categories: (MsF, FsM, MsM, FsF)
were out there. ;-)
