It is *NOT* a computer term.
Perhaps I should consider switching from "ibid." to "idem" .. which I believe is semantically more correct and is really what one should use in these circumstances to convey the idea of "same remark" .. I try to stay away from buzz words .. acronyms .. and obscure locutions in general .. The reason I tend to use "ibid." without giving it much thought is that I have never found a concise equivalent in the English language. And .. er .. not "Ibid" but _I_ .. is the biggest bloody authority on everything .. in case you gentleman around here had somehow failed to notice. My apologies to the OP and all my thanks for clarifying. Thanks, cga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
