Baader-Meinhof encounter with the Q tag

September 27, 2006

I just had another Baader-Meinhof encounter today. At the time of my earlier post, I couldn’t think of any specific examples but made a mental note to try to keep track of any future occurences. What is really odd about this one is that it happened with something that I should have run across a long time ago. I’ve been doing web development/HTML wrangling since 1995 and only stumbled on the Q tag the other day. Somehow I completely missed it (probably because I really haven’t had a need for it and have gotten by just fine with the blockquote tag). Anyway, A List Apart had the Long Live the Q Tag article which first made me aware of it. Then, earlier today I was searching for something on Google and ran across another random reference to it, and then the same tonight.

I know it isn’t that big of a deal, but there are specific times when I run across something new and I make a mental note that that was new to me. Then the second incident happens and then by that time I am fully aware that there will probably be a third occurence in the very near future. Granted, that particular article on ALA could have spawned other conversations and threads that I might have run across since then, but from a distance, they don’t appear related and it just feels odd when it happens.
