I feel you are more than qualified to write that perfect book on Parsing.

That should be easy. Just make a compilation of the Lounge posts...

Quote: I found the perfect book on parsing
How do you know?
Did you read it?
If you have read it, then, what's the reason of buying it?

OK - so I've analyzed the situation.
- Essentially, you've actually parsed many books to find one that you feel is perfect.
- Needing the book naturally implies your parsing itself may not be perfect*
- However, since your parsing itself is imperfect you cannot be sure if this is the perfect book.
- Buying the book, however, will teach you if you parsed perfectly to find it!
- Unless, of course, you parsed imperfectly to ascertain its perfection, in which case it would
- only be perfect by mere happenstance.
- In which case, then, if it is not perfect you're back on the road, again.
Somehow, "Rinse and Repeat" seems the most appropriate closing at this point.
* We leap to the conclusion that you really meant the contents of the book are perfect.

This is true. The driver's door always tries to cut my leg(s) off when I get in or out. I could park facing DOWNHILL and the door will try close on my legs.
Thar's only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we're the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought.

Are those the famed 'suicide doors'? I have the opposite problem with mine...where the wife has parked a bit too close and the door just springs open further (on flat ground) of it's own volition...usually just missing her mirror, but not always.
Maybe it's time for a motorcycle?

My wife's 'baby' is a 1996 Ford Thunderbird. Each door on this ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing tank weighs more than my entire Honda Civic. I've had the doors swing closed on me several times, each of which left bruises.

The member count is currently at 14,444,783. Yet in the Spam forum, Member 14,743,769 is one of the more recent mentions. So is the member count actually the net number of members, meaning that close to 300,000 accounts have been closed? I don't imagine too many people close their own accounts, so this suggests a truly vigilant and vigorous enforcement by the site admins.
