Well pardon me matey, I wouldnt want to downgrade Eli's exquisite
FAQ.
And Eli, I am greatful for all the time and effort you've spent on it,
I'm only glad you don't charge for it or we'd all be stuck!

I'm only posting these anonymously because they me be a little
too harsh for some people to take. Namely those that resemble the publics
image of a 'programming nerd'. Is it a crime? Am I not allowed to have an

speaking
out. And further more, I do value being 'part of this group'.

That's if your religious of course.
Cheers
