The shar matter has caused me more pain, flame and uncertainty than all 
of my paid work for the last two years.  Everybody has their own
idea of what shar should do, more or less than what we have,
or differently.  I posted what I have in the can and abdicate,
quoting two of the best examples of mail I got just today:

Message N:

Well, I rue the day I got into this religious fight.
I enjoyed the comradery of what I consider a great example
of loosely coupled team achievement.  But now,
other things draw me from the riff.
