In articles <8768@chinet.chi.il.us> and <32604@apple.Apple.COM>, H3nry and
Jordan write about my "killer" INITs.

  I thought I'd clear all this up before my reputation gets irreversibly
tarnished... 

  For those of you who aren't familiar with what goes on at MacHack, I should
mention that a Hack Contest is held every year.  Anyone who cares to enter
shows off their hacks, and the panel of judges votes on the Best Hack, and
other "prestigious" awards.
  Anyway, I was showing off my hacks, but unfortunately, I had grabbed the
wrong copy of MobileDialogs.  Not only did it bomb the machine, it bombed
the machine for everyone else who went after me.  So the chant went up to
"Kill Dean's INITs".  The next day, half the people at MacHack were wearing
buttons that sported "Kill Dean's INITs" on them.
  I dunno...  I seem to have made a lasting impression on some people...
(Sheepish grin)
