punkman1: didn'
t the blues start after the slaves became without a master?

mircea_popescu: how would they be different issues ? they're both functions of knowledge and power. f(k,p) and h(k,p) aren'

t see it ? how did it put it in the stats then ?

t common words be excluded? I used to do that to IRC stats
mircea_popescu: chetty yeah. it becomes problematic when you provably can'
