What do the NSOJs say about this?

Well, there's also one with: $B;d$O$"$J$?$N$3$H$r!"$$$D$b;W$C$F$$$^$9(B,
so that really only makes 3 distinct ones for $BA[$&(B cf over 500 for $B;W$&(B.
Far too slim evidence to draw a conclusion.

Again, any NSOJ comments on the $B;W$&(B/$BA[$&(B differences, if any?
