I hope nobody took my comments as criticism of their coding skills. I'm
pretty sure I was not only involved in but at the time actively advocated
the solution I was saying was a bad idea. I've certainly been guilty of
as much or more sloppy coding than everyone else.
In any case, I want to encourage all the people who still do work on
this that their work is not wasted and people do appreciate it.
