- Why? I can't see _any_ unary operator here and whitespace has absolutely
- nothing to do with unary operators, anyway. If '*' occurs between two
- operands, it is a binary operator, no matter the amount of whitespace
- surrounding it (or lack thereof).

- from posting answers/comments to this newsgroup.

- BTW, there is no need to quote a full article just to add five words.

- BTW2, make sure you don't put your original "contribution" on a line
- already containing quoted text. Finding the five words was by no means
- trivial (I did some editing, so that other people can understand who said
- what).
