Here on usenet, I can often recognize regular posters after reading just 
one line, or less (and I don't mean those who post the Really Long 
Lines; I mean a normal line of 72 characters or yes).  In particular, 
Hoff here and Richard Maine in comp.lang.fortran are immediately 
recognizable.

Yes, I know; I just needed the setup.  :-)

Vaguely.  Synonyms for right are good: dextrous, correct, etc.  Those
for left are bad: sinister, etc.  So "right" in "right behind" is 
something positive, right behind it, i.e. not far away but immediately 
behind it.
