         you are confusing text with display - (boxley) - (12) - March 12, 2005, 06:53:13 PM EST
             Uhhh..Not quite, Bill - (jb4) - (11) - March 25, 2005, 01:50:46 PM EST
                 And that is one thing that sucks about Unicode - (ben_tilly) - (9) - March 25, 2005, 03:09:44 PM EST
                     At least they're consistent - (jb4) - (8) - March 25, 2005, 06:02:42 PM EST
                         But it is a problem - (ben_tilly) - March 25, 2005, 06:13:17 PM EST
                         Except for that full width/half width ascii thing - (tuberculosis) - (5) - March 27, 2005, 09:40:24 PM EST
                             I dunno... - (jb4) - March 28, 2005, 12:11:15 PM EST
                             My personal take on it - (jake123) - (3) - March 28, 2005, 12:15:20 PM EST
                                 Perhaps, but it makes searching tricky - (tuberculosis) - (2) - March 28, 2005, 02:49:36 PM EST

                         No, but they were xenophobic etc - (jake123) - (15) - March 14, 2005, 02:50:01 PM EST
                             xenophobic's probably the wrong word - (SpiceWare) - (14) - March 14, 2005, 04:12:18 PM EST
                                 Yeah, you're right - (jake123) - (13) - March 14, 2005, 05:02:32 PM EST
                                     How about "escessively humble"? - (drewk) - (4) - March 14, 2005, 05:35:25 PM EST

                                             I certainly used to do without "e" - (Arkadiy) - March 14, 2005, 08:01:39 PM EST
