The History of the "@" Symbol (Part 1)

The story is definitely interesting enough (and also told well enough) for those ten thousand words and, as you seem to realize yourself, this is a two-part essay. What you want to be told will be told in the second part.

It’s one part of a two-part essay. I’m really unable to understand why you seem to believe that one part of a two-part issue should include everything you expect from the whole essay.

>To accuse the author of lying because of that is despicable and rude.

Either the OP edited their comment, or you are yourself somewhat off base -- I see no such accusation. And I see no evidence they realized this was a two part article.

The comment was edited. I now edited my own comment, too :-)

Can I ask you to delete your own comment? It wouldn’t be nice to have that sentence stick around, now that is no longer accurate.

I am unable to edit or delete any of my comments more than a few minutes old. I assume this goes in hand with the fact that I can't downvote folk either.
