My spouse was rather distracted at the dinner table last night after a long
day battling with C.  This morning, my spouse sent me the following e-mail:

#The answer to my C problem is: [^,-,].

#Long live Ada.

Given that I am in a _legal_ (hetero) marriage and posting from my own account,
here's the puzzle:

Are my spouse's comments just part of a "typical male pi**ing contest", but
you've now seen a post on c.l.a from a female?  Or is my spouse a female
participating in a "typical male pi**ing contest", and you've yet to get
your quota of female posters to c.l.a? ;-)

Its getting pretty silly around here as the rocket scientists and space cadets
are ready to blast off into a new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL
