Hello,

I have given things a lot of thought over the last two weeks and I have a

question for the group. Lets say, even with the objections on the number sign,

what harm can come from trying it?

From what I gather from the feedback, the parsers wont parse it correctly. Is

that so bad? I mean, if my idea only work sometimes, or somewheres, is that bad

for everyone, or just bad for me?

Apologies for putting it in the following way:

I think it's only bad for you.

Everyone else just won't care, they won't use your "drop" non-scheme.

Regards, Martin.
