Gee, I can't understand why my non-abrasive comment would get returned with a [1b], especially since I would think that mathematical notation would supercede any programming syntax (if you're being picky that is), and further wouldn't indicate that I was full of crap. I wasn't trying to be insulting to anyone. Actually, I meant that to be a very lighthearted attempt at participation. Also, as was pointed out, the word "inclusive" I used is redundant but I was typing it as I would speak it. I'm going to a darkened room to practice my social skills.
