#X text 19 206 -Jonathan Wilkes;
#X text 19 36 What's interesting is that while some people argue against
segmented patch cords as a future feature in Pd \, on the grounds that
it would lead to "sloppy" patching habits and unreadable patches \,
I have yet to read a negative response to an email that used them in
ASCII art. That is \, no one to my knowledge has said: "Excuse me but
I can't ready your ASCII art \, could you please remove the 90-degree
angles?" Evidently segmented connections are not themselves a problem--
it's unclear to me then how their use on a Pd canvas would lead an
otherwise lucid mind down a path of chaos and confusion.;
