Yes I should have mentioned trimming - but in my defence, I did using
trimming in my reply!
I started using the internet when I had a 2400 bps modem, in 1990.
I introduced the use of "[...]" to replace the then common "[ omitted ]"
which was being used in usenet - my very small part in Internet history.
Cheers,
