Ward Dossche -> Not To Anyone Specific
And yet you quoted me. :)
But yes, I confess. I violated my own policy. I should have taken this to netmail a long time ago. I thank you for doing what I always ask of every participant of echoes that I "moderate".
It's just that I was taken by surprise to see that someone could actually confuse a fraction symbol - the horizontal line - with a minus operator.
I'll probably write an article on it. At the moment, I am recovering from a stroke (no, nothing serious, just a wee bit of speech impediment), so maybe in next week's issue.

Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.
