I'm sorry if my offhand comment seemed unfair, Bob, It was not meant to 
bash you or your project, but just an observation on how Lennart 
delivered a round of no-punches-pulled comments. Scathing, yes, as he 
saw several things that badly need fixing, educational in that we all 
learned a lot about about better coding practices and entertaining in 
the shoot-from-the-hip, call-em-as-I-see-em, you-asked-for-it style.

No offense intended, forgive me if Mr Sorensen cracks me up.
