    The perils of coding while Threshing

    I often code while I'm Threshing. I use TextEdit, which is just a plain text editor in Mac.

    Today I was having a problem with a script, and while searching through it I found this:

    < ?phpdrink ale

    (Changed so that the code would show up here.)

    I used to mud while at work on a helpdesk and I caught myself several times with thresh references in my tickets.
    I wanna love you but I better not touch
    I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
    I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
    I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison

    I've seen boardchecks in my code. But for me, the main peril is the other way around - Thresh people see all sorts of bits of my code.

    Sometimes the thresh reference is deliberate though.
    Code:
    importattr[nimporttran]=i; //But don't increment nimynnporttran, in case the other half is botched.
