 Certainly a long-term examination of messages on the xCFB's would lead 
 one to the conclusion that most forth programmers who also leave msgs on
 BBSs seem to be far more interested in hacking the internals of their 
 forth systems than ever doing anything useful with them.  Planing the 
 board away to perfection is a perfect metaphor.

 Incidentally, I had the identical experience with the board... but not 
 by choice.  They wouldn't let me move on from step 1: plane board 
 perfectly square.  So after half a semester, I didn't have a maple leaf 
 nut tray, I had a mahogany toothpick...
