And Maybe the "!" comes from query use in databases? In certain excel formulas, you use the "!" to mark something fixed, or unchanging...if I remember correctly...but this is all conjecture.

To my understanding, the use of the "!" between words is called a bangpath. In the olden days of computer systems you would use bangpaths for heightened specificity. So like, if you wanted to send an message to a specific group in a specific subset or a specific department of a specific company, you'd use a bangpath to specify the group!subset!department!company. I am about ten years too young to have personally experienced that era in computing, so this is second hand info, but I did look up bangpaths and they check out.

ayrt

Oooo! Thanks for the tidbit! I knew someone here would pull up the information -- I certainly wasn't aware of this, but from my very very limited knowledge in programming and coding, the "!" was familiar.
