I am having trouble understanding the difference between a regression that
uses a cross operator (#) and one that uses a cross factorial operator (##).
For example, this is the output I get from running two different
regressions:

. logistic y a#b

Logistic regression                             Number of obs   =      19670
                                                LR chi2(3)      =       7.71
                                                Prob > chi2     =     0.0525
Log likelihood = -1473.1898                     Pseudo R2       =     0.0026
