But Charles, we thought you were a perfect programmer, the
quinticential writer of software who makes no mistakes at all.  I'm
disallusioned and benighted and confused.  <grinning>  

"Don' worry, be happy!"  The thing works wonderfully in version2, and
I'm sure that version3 will be just that much better.  Just think, if
you really *were* the perfect programmer, there would be nothing to
improve, no challenges.  Naw, I think I prefer it this way.  It keeps
you on your toes. 

Warmly,
Ann P.
