LOL! Probably not necessary however - it looks trivial to implement
(Well, if you call 4-8 hrs dev work trivial...) which is why I even
considered it while in the midst of my other 7 programming
projects...

Sorry, David.
"Tongue-in-cheek is a phrase used as a figure of speech to imply that a statement is not seriously intended and should not be taken at face value", according to Wikipedia. It's also used to refer to intentional irony or sarcasm. You used it well in your warning about JAD. I saw your typo as the text analog to trying to pronounce "clean" with your tongue in your cheek, and found it amusing. Then I muddied the water by introducing a typo of my own ("your tongue"). Having explained all this, it's not nearly as funny as it seemed. Just another example of why low-bandwidth email will never replace voice communication... :-/ -Chip- On 10/7/2012 18:53 David Requena said: > > That one I had to look up Chip.

Chip,
Oh, no, it wasn't me but Fernando. I know about the tongue-in-cheek idiom but I had never seen the word 'cleam' before (neither has thundebird's spellchecker as I write this). Somehow I knew I was missing some level of the joke. As it happens I did not catch "you" meta-joke! You know, NetRexx is not the only language I try hone while participating in this community :-) PS: Even being a non-native English speaker I notice a big difference on how much care people puts into correctly using English between different US age groups . I'd say there's great divide is around forty-something. I cannot quite notice such a sharp shift among British people. Am I right? Is it some false perception due to watching too many poor Hollywood movies? OK folks, sorry for the blatant off-topic.. On 08/10/2012 8:30, Chip Davis wrote:

Chip, It was me, not David, who made the humorous reference to JAD.
