Did you deliberately omit the 32 to make it obvious that you did the asciification in your head? (At least, I'm guessing you did it in your head, because the obvious ways to do it by computer would automatically include the space.)

I was trying to make a subtle point that callahad kinda outed.

It's a fine line between helping each other and speaking a language that posers don't understand. So I just did ascii, thinking that any real programmer would immediately understand. I forgot the code for "space", so I skipped it, wondering if anyone would notice. tome did.

Just having a little fun on an otherwise mundane Tuesday.
