	Someone told me along time ago in a galaxy far far away an old
fable of CS programmers.  "Not a line of code can you write today that wasn't
written by someone else yesterday."  In that sense of the word were all a 
bunch of plageristic pirates and the system can goto hell

	Craig Nelson (mwizard@eecs.ee.pdx.edu)

	Programmers Philosophy:  All programs contain at least one bug and
	one unnecessary line.  Recusive application yields the conclusion 
	that all programs can be simplified down to one line that doesn't
	work.
