I use an editor (to justify my comments) that _attempts_ to minimize whitespace where possible, but this is clearly not easy now that words of the length of "internationalizationalism" (sic) are becoming the norm (or normalizationalism). Faulty though it may be, it would never produce as anti-aesthetic a paragraph as yours above: Other analogous dichotomies exist. For example, there is "justification", "right justification", and "anti - right justification". -------------------+------------------------------------------- Alastair Dunbar | Edmonton: a great place, but...
