One other point...

Engineers put their reputation and careers on the line every time they put their stamp on a document. It is sort of the same with us.

While the comments may appear to be directed only at the current thread participants, that is not the case. We recognize that a lot of people will encounter this thread through a search and may adopt the code (or advice) without any discussion.

There are a lot of things I did a year ago (heck, even last week) that I would do different today so a lot of the advice does not deserve immortality.

'nuf said... will get off my soapbox.
