Subject: [TUHS] Whence did "XXX" come about?
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2020 03:32:58 +1000 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.2009040325180.99359@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
For yonks I've been seeing "XXX" as a flag to mean "needs more work" or
"look at this carefully, just in case" etc, and I use it myself.
Whence did it come about? I think I saw it as early as PWB, but can't be
sure.
-- Dave, wondering how many nanny-filters he triggered with "XXX"
