Had a professor from germany (hi deitmar if you read this) who called
it twiddle.  as far as the '#' it is hash to me. But I'm from Santa Cruz.

Oh, for people who don't know, if you change the '>' at the beginning of
the line in a follow up message to something else, you don't need to 
add line filler.
