This country boy sees them as duplication.  'set' does not print them 
twice.  Anyway you guys are happy with it so I'm flogging a dead horse 
as usual.  Besides it's easy enough to filter out Tweedle-Dee and leave 
Tweedle-Dum cuz I learn nothing from the one that I don't already know 
from the other.  I know I'm fanatical about this sort of thing.

Consistency is one of my cardinal virtues, I like it alot.  The 
Linux/Unix world doesn't mind a bit of fuzz tho.

It's the sort of thing you learn via hard knocks.
