I, too, don't count the number of lines in my software as I always
thought it was pretty silly.  During some job interviews I would
mention some systems I had worked on and was asked how many lines
of code they were.  The interviewer wasn't looking for a precise
count, he/she was merely trying to get a feel for how big the projects
were.  This way, 1000 and 2000 wouldn't have been too different.  However,
1000 and 10,000 would have been.  A light bulb went off in my head and
I realized that lines of code weren't so evil when used in this light.
