Nigel, I've cleaned up the punctuation to fix my transcription error. The quote does actually make sense: in fact, it's actually a reasonably succinct and accurate description of what the Internet is: in plain-ish English, it means "the largest group of computers that can all both successfully send IP packets to, and receive IP packets from, every other computer in that group". Seth Breidbart could have left out the "reflexive, transitive, symmetric closure" bit, since that's implied by "equivalence class", and simply said: " the largest ] of the ] 'can be reached by an IP packet from'", but it wouldn't have been nearly as funny. -- ] 09:37, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

What am I to do regarding the discussion ] and reversions happening at ]? There doesn't seem to be much chance of convincing this person that '''the boat''' is non-polluting. I'm tempted to revert the article and reply to the latest comment pointing out a number of non-polluting electricity sources, but I'm sure that it would not do any good. Perhaps it would be best to simply let this cool off and revert it next week. What do you think? --] 09:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, I did notice that it was being used statically in quite a few articles, so I thought it'd be good to use it again. It'd be nice to get any help possible, sure. Do you have any suggestions for where to put it other than articles that focus on something involving free software? -] 00:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

== RE: Dark web ==

The main article that I am basing my edit off of is "", in which "dark web" and "dark web space" refer to hosts that are intentionally hidden, and talks of them specifically launching SMTP and other DoS attacks (not limited to what is correctly called "the web"); I have seen this elsewhere too, if you like I can try to find more references for it. I understand that it is a misnomer, but it is how the term is commonly used. If you feel that it is commonly used also to refer to the ], then we should make it into a disambiguation page. --] 22:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

==XPath==

Hi Nigelj, you rolled back an edit I made to ]. Sorry for not leaving a comment but the example
<code>//a/@target</code> is wrong. The part <code>../div</code> of the second predicate specifies the <code>div</code> children of the parent (i.e. the <code>a</code> element's siblings) whereas the explanation speaks of a <code>div</code> parent. The expression can be fixed by replacing this bit with <code>parent::div</code> i.e. changing the expression to <code>//a/@target</code>.
] 20:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

:Hi Hwiechers, you're absolutely right! That's what I get for not testing code! What it turns out that I meant was <code>//a/@target</code>. However what you suggest works just as well except that it mixes the full and abreviated syntaxes, although there's no rule against that. I've corrected the page. Thanks for your help and well spotted! --] 21:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
