From: Evan Kirshenbaum <evan@SU-CSLI.ARPA> >Does anyone know where "I >tell you once, I tell you twice, what I tell you three times is >true" is from? ``Just the place for a Snark!'' the Bellman cried, As he landed his crew with care; Supporting each man on the top of the tide By a finger entwined in his hair. ``Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice: That alone should encourage the crew. Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice: What I tell you three times is true.'' Lewis Carroll ``The Hunting of the Snark'' Fit the First You should all be happy to hear that I've refrained from proving my point (``The proof is complete if only I've stated it thrice'') by sending three copies of this message to the net.
