    That’s a VIRUS.

    Duh…

    ( yes, I know they are implementation-orthogonal, but it’s the same concept. )

      Off-top, but what’s the meaning behind the last line signature? I’ve seen you use it before.

            I saw a picture earlier of a baby hedgehog with its legs just like this. Probably not that though. Will OP ever release us from this mystery?

              As per their comment history, I think they may be kinda delighted to live us that way.

                I found some of their comments quite interesting, they clearly think a lot. Don’t agree with everything they said but that’s life, people have different opinions.

                I’m going to go with it being an ascii equivalent of the ‘namaste’ hand gesture and stop thinking about it 😅
