Dan Tilque: > More people than just those two answered = Oh, you're right. Now I see what happened. As is often the case, Jason's answers were MIME quoted-printable-encoded, so I ran them through a QP decoder. But when I do that, I habitually do it to the entire file of answers -- it's easier to do, and if there are no = signs in anyone else's postings, it'll make no difference. But this time there *were* = signs, on a line by themselves, and when viewed as QP, of course they went away. Sorry, my carelessness. Thanks for the correction. So make it 4 for *Joshua*, Bruce, Peter, *Marc*, and *Dan Tilque* -- which increases Joshua's margin of victory.
