You know, it just occurred to me that very few people would consider
"cadaver does nothing" to be even worth mentioning, let alone sending
email to a public mailing list about.  It's the "cadaver does
something" case that gets people all excited.

;-)  That is a pretty cool trick.  I bet it's the sentence justification
equivalent of a jive filter.

How is it you are *consistently* managing to type justified sentences 
that do not contain repeated spaces except for exactly two after an 
end-of-sentence? Is is really just an entirely freakish coincidence, or 
do you have years of practice carefully choosing words to achieve that 
effect? :-)
