RE: Range Seperator

["LEMAY,KEVIN (A-Roseville,ex1)" <kevin_lemay@agilent.com>]

I do not like the ';' but I would prefer a single character. There have been
objections to using the comma or colon, then my third choice is the ".."
 
I really don't see any conflict using either the comma or colon.
 
Using comma is already used to separate list values. Colon being used in
addresses is irrelevant because those are different parameters. I certainly
keep track of which one we are working on.

I was looking at what would be appropriate (and perhaps familiar to
programmers - double dot is used in Pascal for ranges).  (- or +) may come
handy later for other things. And BTW double characters are already there in
addresses. 
We could use semicolon(;) (I for some reason do not like it). 

So we have 2 proposals: 

1) .. (2 votes) 
2); (1 vote?) 

The tally is on! (untill tomorrow)

                I would prefer one character. I don't care what it is, any
character
will do, but having only one there is slightly easier to parse that
having two.

Dear colleagues,

I suggested using : (colon) to separate values in a range.
Unfortunately :
is overused (in addresses and in names).
I suggest we use the (old) two dots (..) to mark a range.

Comments?
