(Why use a romanian encoding, though?)

My newsreader chose it. When I create a post, it picks the
best matching charset from an ordered list, changing it as
needed. Darkstar's post was in us-ascii, so that's where my
response started. As soon as I typed the e-acute, the
charset shifted to iso-8859-1. The z-hachek caused a
further shift to iso-8859-2. This was already compatible
with the z-acute, but not with the e-grave; for that it had
to shift to iso-8859-16. I note, though, that e-acute,
z-hachek, and e-grave *without* z-acute would have been
accommodated by iso-8859-15.

I'm reminded of a timeline of the events that led to the explosion at Chernobyl.
This one is amusing, though. A bit geekish, but interesting nonetheless.
