here he goes again...

as an (outspoken?) opponent of lharc (until it gets it sh*t together),
i read with interest a previous post about testing at least a dozen
(!!!!!!!) versions of lharc on a particularly nasty file. since at least
one of them (2, i think) worked, the file COULD be considered "good"
(not by ME or any other sane, rational user, however).

then i came across this gem:

i LOVE this guy. he hits the point home! "a pox on you [lharc-ers] and
all your ancesters" as ed norton would say :-).

and NO, as much as i would REALLY like to, i will NOT eat my words (yet :-)
