Aah, Homer - a true prophet of the modern age - just as his namesake was millennia ago. A quick search of the archives would reveal dozens of such moments on my part, I assure you.

[rant]I am ever so slightly annoyed that one presumes all users here are Gates clones. I for one am a cave-dwelling Mac renegade, and my Æ is not the result of any Alt + a random assortment of numbers. [/rant] Not that anyone asked

Your post reminded me of a scene from Weird Al Yankovich's movie "The Vidiot from UHF." There were a collection of movie previews in it, and one was for the movie "Gandhi II - He's back, and this time he ain't taking any crap." In that Mohandesque spirit, I am leaping to my own defence, with a quote from my earlier post on the subject of accented characters: . For those Windows users who use only a few accented characters, here are some of the more common - hold down the Alt key while pressing the numbers on the numeric keypad.[/petulant retort]
