Nah. The last time Thomas got angry... well, you heard of what happened
at Troy, right? When he gets angry, it's *obvious* (although the people
to whom it's obvious may not have much time to regret it.)

In other words, don't worry about it. Unless you've already been
slaughtered and buried in an unmarked grave - in which case, disregard
everything I've said. :)

Err, have you considered the word 'printed'? It's a perfectly good one,
and causes no harm to anyone as far as I know.

[ In case you're still missing it: *clarity*, in a technical discussion,
is far more important than saving a few keystrokes. *WRITE OUT* what
you're trying to say to avoid confusion. ]
