    A tiny part of me of which I am not proud was glad to see this. Let's me know I'm not the only one to wonder why I can't just decide between underscores and camelCase.

    ... non-fact milk? That's taking it to a different dimension.

    [font="Verdana"]Me, I'm just pondering what I believe about asteroids... It looks like a fascinating project.[/font]

    What's troubling is that I never use underscores in code. Identifiers and variables are either camelCase or InitialCase (or whatever it's called). I have no idea why I would have put an underscore in there.

    It's a proof of concept for my thesis.

    Currently the only thing it seems to be proving is that I can't code properly anymore.....

    Hmm, if it's not a fact, then it cannot be a belief which means as far as an agent is concerned, it doesn't exist.

    1 black coffee, coming up.

    That's part of the reason why I made a reference to a new dimension.

    [font="Verdana"]My seven month project is in the testing and user acceptance phase, and I am discovering the same thing.

    I think the solution is to pour more java.

    There shouldn't be. I was puzzling over how someone could do this. We should not allow blank emails.

    OK, I'm still 2 days behind, but I 'm guessing that someone can name themselves "Anonymous"?

    There is a member with the name 'Anonymous'

    Yeah, but I don't think it's that. If you check the screen shot, there's no profile details, the name is not a hyperlink (as it normally is) and clicking 'reply' brings up the reply screen with an empty box.

    Plus I know two of these PMs from 'anonymous' are from different people, because they're related to forum threads.

    Oops, already covered.
