1. Thanks for an incredible flame. You two should be on TV.

2. I can't believe you made the above statement. I thought everyone hid
their non-portable code with BINHEX. Now you've let the secret out of
the bag. Please don't tell John Devorak, He just figured out that software
has bugs. If you tell him this, he'll start saying we use compilers to hide
our bad code.

There, I just had to say that.
