This is what threw me. I got the syntax error. I had no clue what
|
|
was wrong with the syntax though. I have gotten so used to using in
|
|
for the input file and out for the output file in other languages.

If you wish to reply by mail, _please_ replace 'trashcan' with 'david'

in the e-mail address. The trashcan account really is a trashcan.

.. The Anarchists' [national] anthem is an international anthem that
|
|
consists of 365 raspberries blown in very quick succession to the tune
|
|
of "Camptown Races". Nobody has to stand up for it, nobody has to
|
|
listen to it, and, even better, nobody has to play it.
