I find it quite useful, actually. This is the sort of thing that sits in code that is prone to change. Why destroy the entire structure when a month or two from now, someone has a need to add in an index of 2 and 3? Though, admittedly, I'd comment out everything but the 'do something' code when it got this low. :) But I'd still leave it THERE. :)
Probably voted low by someone whose reaction was "WTF is this person typing about? None of these words make any sense together!"

In short, a mess :-) "SS" is not always the case, sometimes "SZ" is used instead. "ss" (or "sz", "SS", "SZ") is not necessarily meaning the same as "ß" (sharp s) (also after the "writing reform") e.g.: "Masse" means: mass, majority "Maße" means: metrics, gauges "Ass" means ace "aß" means ate (pastens of "to eat")

some good sci-fi books.
It saddens me that this thread has no evangelists complaining about the use of the term 'sci-fi' in reference to some very good SF authors. Sigh. Has the media corruption of proper terms taken over even THIS bastion of clueful people? Tis a debate of epic proportions, but I'd direct the interested reader to http://www.sfwa.org/misc/skiffy.htm[^] and http://www.sfwa.org/misc/skiffy2.htm[^].
I was just poking to find out where my next resume should go, if one needs to be sent out. :)
Gold Canyon, AZ ... where OpenSource means far too much of a reduction in profit margins! :)

I believe this is a cultural reference to a line in "Amish Paradise" by Weird Al Yankovic:
So don't be vain and don't be whiny Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your hiney!
