Actually, check out Seppuku on Wikipedia: hara-kiri is a vulgar term for the same act. Coding like a Samurai would involve doing things according to a strict code of conduct and with attention to one's personal morals. A Samurai coder would modify code in the "correct" style regardless of the original code style. If ordered to do otherwise, he might commit seppuku as a moral protest. `require General::Disclaimer;` All code, unless otherwise noted, is untested "All it will give you though, are headaches after headaches as it misinterprets your instructions in the most innovative yet useless ways." - Maypole and I - Tales from the Frontier of a Relationship (by Corion)	[reply]
