I did it on purpose — I do that sometimes as a mental exercise… it's fun. You never saw me do that before? I think I must have put up about 10 or 20 of them that way. You just say whatever you want for the first two thirds or so of each text line, and then you try to think ahead and draw on your vocabulary for synonyms, alternate phrases, and possible apostrophe uses for the same meanings. There has always been a way to do it, when I was trying. The top line in a message is always *any* length, and then you have to make it all work from there. No editing, because that's cheating. Besides, CI$ kinda makes it only fun if you can do it while you type. . <grin> –Ben–
