I will be most interested in seeing your code which can tell the difference between a string which "should" be obscured and one which should not. It would represent a major breakthrough in the state of the art in pattern recognition. Absent that, the only way in which this could possibly be anything but a placebo is if it behaved as I described. So yes, it *does* have to be mindless, under the assumption that you are not simply trying to waste everybodies time. Which actually seems increasingly likely. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
