Incidantally Duritz, there are no factorials of negative numbers, hence (liberty of multiplying by -1)
Thought, it would click with all of you, sorry.

Some of the edits that occur by moderators on this site are, at the very least mystifying at times.. I have read on numerous occassions that the owners of the site, as is their right, are cautious of potential legal action being wrought against them... Whilst it is obviously the owner of the site's right to be cautious, I will also reserve the right to be, how do I put this, bemused, by some of the things that are done in the name of moderation..
With this in mind, I recall the following There was a moderator, a few days ago on another thead who posted, when a contributor was waxxing lyrically about diseminating information from this site to the public domain :
This Forum and the internet sites smartgambler.com.au and propun.com.au are the assets of OZmium Pty. Ltd. They have a substantial financial value.
They DO NOT belong to the public.
If someone, for example, copied our Punt to Win betting advice articles and published them in a book our lawyers would take legal action.
and then promptly closed the thread... tsk... what? No discussion? Just a gag... what is this? the Australian Senate? have the Libs taken over here and we haven't been told? , Any dissent and we will close you down? Again it may well be the right of the owner to do so, I am not arguing that it is not...
The above post by the moderator may be totally correct, and probably is.... My point? The only mention of litigation that I have seen on this site has been from the moderators themselves.... Not by anyone who has claimed be defamed or otherwise injured by comments on this site, by contributors... Maybe the moderators are just a wee bit precious, in what they deem inappropriate.. in their over zealous editing practices. at one stage they had software running that would not aloow the word horse to be posted... we are afterall adults.. But hell.. what do I know? I would guess on this site, I am not entitled to hold that opinion... Time will tell
