When I first read your comment about "xerox" syndrome I did not understand what you meant. I guess you meant just "blindly copying"? Your comment came to mind this week when one of the guys at work posted a link about recent problems with xerox copiers having the opposite problem - the copiers are deliberately (and very carefully) corrupting the characters:mikeslr wrote:Wondering what else I might have left out I discovered it was also missing a comma. Call it the "Xerox" syndrom: I used a previous config file to build it, ran thru the alphabet and counted from 0 thru 9, but forgot to check symbols.
