Alas, no, I didn't realize that was a bunny line! MIT didn't teach me that. And I've never had a TV, so never seen Bugs Bunny. (well, we did have one when I was a kid, which was maybe when Bugs Bunny was on - but I didn't watch it. I'm a boring MIT geek, no TV for me...) So my apologies for thinking an estimable quote was just a plebeian spelling mistake! (oh, and thanks to the spelling checker, or else I would have made my own mistake, since I didn't know it's "plebeian" and not "plebian!" Very bad to correct other folks' supposed spelling mistakes, and then make errors of my own! ;-)
Joy p.s. To those about to object that it's not Friday - not to worry, I won't post any more on this issue! ;-)
