To whatever hard-to-pin-down part of me finds any of this objectionable, I think something like --t would be even less of a problem than any of the above, while still being just as easy to type. Removing the separation between the dashes and the initial, as well as placing extra indentation before the dashes, helps make clear to my subconscious that the dashes are a lead-in to the initial, rather than being a form of the standard-specified delimiter. (I've used something similar to that form, with my own three initials rather than just one, in various spots in my workplace in the past.) Whether that would hold for anyone else, including Brad, I of course can't say. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
