..what heron is doing is something akin to wearing a
patterned tie to an event where plain ties are expected
..a lot of people will find it irritating
?but "almost indecipherable"
..it's not like he's wearing a tutu and diving helmet
..at least he uses the standard usenet quoting convention
and doesn't top-post, both of which are more significant
than a mildly idiosyncratic punctuation convention

Now, are you seriously telling me that you had trouble deciphering the
above? Don't ask me to teach you Perl then:-) Come to think of it,
anyone who has had to sit through PowerPoint presentations should feel
at home with rthling - though I guess that is not much of a compliment.

Having just done an experiment in writing rthling I can report one minor
problem. It breaks when you do a standard line re-wrapping in vim,
though I expect it would not be too difficult to configure vim to
preserve the indent.

Nice. But sorry, but I always look both ways before crossing.

(Of course, on the streets in the area I work, that's no guarantee!)
