| 62 | </I>><i> *BZZZT* Nice try, thank you for playing. To quote RFC1459: | |
| 63 | </I>><i> | |
| 64 | </I>><i> <nick> ::= <letter> { <letter> | <number> | <special> } | |
| 65 | </I>><i> <letter> ::= 'a' ... 'z' | 'A' ... 'Z' | |
| 66 | </I>><i> <number> ::= '0' ... '9' | |
| 67 | </I>><i> <special> ::= '-' | '[' | ']' | '\' | '`' | '^' | '{' | '}' | |
| 68 | </I>><i> | |
| 69 | </I>><i> In other words, a "letter" is really a letter from A to Z, and not one | |
| 70 | </I>><i> of []\{}|. (It is true, however, that {}| and []\ were considered | |
| 71 | </I>><i> case-insensitively equivalent.) | |
| 72 | </I>><i> | |
| 73 | </I> | |
| 74 | But in the finland alphabet, ae, slash-o, and the other thing ARE between | |
| 75 | A and Z :) | |
