Due to some strangeness with mailers around here, I am just now
re-receiving some mail (from the GNU mailing lists) that came in
(the first time) several weeks ago.  This is good because I am
now re-digesting these messages with a much higher retention rate :-)

Anyway, I noticed one line in a message sent out by Michael
that I thought bears repeating.  Indeed, it is sufficiently
truthful (and self-evidently so) that I believe that it should
henceforth bear the honorary title "Tiemann's Law".

Tiemann's Law:

	Code isn't reusable if it's not usable.
