I am interested in genetic algorithms and keep looking for an opportunity to

Oddly the simplicity of TIL's leads to mutation much the same as RNA mutates
more easily than DNA.

Thanks for the link. I apreciate all the help I can get to understand
Christian Tismer when he says things like "no Forth, but TIL".
