  Why all that extra unnecessary stuff which makes the signature longer?
  Removing unnecessary stuff gives something like:

#local Q=seed(7);#local B=<-2,2,5>;#local E=<2,-2,5>;blob{#while
(vlength(B-E)>.1)#local S=B;#local B=B+<rand(Q),rand(Q),rand(

{<B.y,-B.x,B.z>,.1,1}sphere{B,.1,1}#end pigment{rgb 9}}//     NX

Like this? (I don't understand the use of '?' and 'B.y' though - ABX helped me
there)

For (C?A:B) look in section 'Float Operators' in the docu.

A few interesting excerpts from the docs:

|The default value if none is specified is threshold 1.0.

|Conditional expressions: The operand C is boolean while operands A and B 
|are any expressions. The result is of the same type as A and B.
|
|(C ? A : B)         if C then A else B

|You may use the dot operator to extract a single float component from a 
|vector. Suppose the identifier Spot was previously defined as a vector. 
|Then Spot.x is a float value that is the first component of this x, y, z 
|vector. Similarly Spot.y and Spot.z reference the 2nd and 3rd components.

Thanks.

I now remember that I have seen it in the docs, but I couldn't remember where.

The first excerpt was from the blob docs, and was a hint as to a way you can
make your sig even shorter (not my idea, though, just something you missed 
in Warp's adaptation.)

The second excerpt was from the "float operators" docs.

The third excerpt was from the "vector operators" docs.

  If a bit wider version of the "X" doesn't bother you, you can make it
a three-liner:

#local Q=seed(7);#local B=<-2,2,5>;#local E=<2,-2,5>;union{#while((E-B).x>.1)
#local S=B;#local B=B+<rand(Q),rand(Q),rand(Q)>/20;#local B=(vlength(B-E)<
vlength(S-E)?B:2*S-B);sphere{<B.y,-B.x,B.z>,.1}sphere{B,.1}#end pigment{rgb 9}}

Which, my ability to cancel messages with Moz 1.1, or the actual
cancellation of this particular message?
