Several cultures have had more than one script for writing... take ancient Egypitian with both the formal hieroglyphs and the hieratic scribbles. If this computertext stuff continues to differentiate itself, maybe in a thousand years it will be enshrined as a real format. Meanwhile, I see it is junk written by people trying desperately to look cool and up-to-date. It is just as sloppy and irritating as putting a "z" on the end of every other word. Carolly
