We seem to have here a set of three people, two of whom are named
"Tim", and two of whom are named "Smith."  Please be careful when
quoting someone as "Tim" or as "Smith" to specify _which_ "Tim" or
"Smith" you mean.

As to my posting on integer division in computers, I am sorry if 
anyone was annoyed, but I do think that there were good reasons 
for posting this to net.math.  First of all, I wanted ammunition 
for my side of the argument in net.arch.  Also, I didn't want to just
say that computers are _wrong_ without checking with real 
mathematicians ( I only have a B.S. in math ).

If I had phrased the question so that computers were not involved
would it have made people feel better?
