Yes, I am sorry.

i know that "shit" is used in a rather neutral way on the street, but this 
is not the street, and I encourage everybody to not use such language.

just for the record, I believe that pd-vanilla is a great piece of 
software, especially considering how few bugs it has. It's just not what 
I'd like it to be, but then, I can't help thinking about just more 
features and designs all of the time. Whenever I say something about 
pd-vanilla, keep in mind that I'm still using it, and that there are 
reasons for that.

back to #/$ : i think it's fair enough for Thomas. A solution using 
backslashes would have been trickier and prone to depend on current 
behaviour of backslash, and I believe that the behaviour of backslashes 
will change someday.
