I find non-standard weighting not nearly as easy to copy - a different
accent as it were. Analogy: These Indians who seem to infest call centers
may be fluent in English but I might understand one word in ten. The
bastardized code may stand out - but in a negative way. Just like a tone
less than T-9. Yes, stands out from the masses, but hardly something to be
proud of. K3TX
