Yeah, I know what you mean.  It could, however, still be that DGK has
things to say that are worth hearing.  An analogy would be BWK's code
found in DWB software (e.g. "pic") that uses type punning and so forth,
quite against the good advice he gives in his books.  (I asked him
about this, and he came up with an excuse, but I don't buy it.)

Our motto: "Do as I say, not as I do."
