guilty as charged, keith! i _do_ love my tools! all of them! most especially the ones that i coded myself, since i put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into each one! but even the ones that other people made, i love those too! because they make my life easier for me! and i love "easier"! and it's not that stupid kind of blind love, either. no sir. because -- don't forget it! -- the proof is in the pudding! i can tell you exactly why i love each of my tools, and those reasons are good, solid reasons with sound, logical backing. i analyze my needs, and my tools, extremely closely so that i _know_ -- with _certainty_ -- just exactly what i need and why i need it, and then i make sure that my tools deliver it, whether they were programmed by someone else (which i strongly prefer, because i _did_ mention that i love "easier") or programmed by me (due to the blood, sweat, and tears). i'm happy to share my analyses of my needs, and my tools, too, because that makes all of us smarter about all of that, and i'm happy when other people share _their_ analyses too. but yes yes yes yes yes yes yes, i _do_ love my tools! i do! and it's easy as pie to know why! the proof is in the pudding! -bowerbird
