Here we go again.  Let's point the fingers at the keyboards and solve the 
problems instead of pointing them at each other and raising our blood
pressure.

And now, a joke:  a couple of months back I presented a paper at an
electronic mail conference.  For a slide or two I was talking about
header munging and why it was a bad thing.  I used a rhyme to sum it all up:

	Humpty Dumpty went through a relay,
	  Humpty Dumpty was munged in the melee;
	And Hermes, and MH, and Crispin's MM,
	  Couldn't put Humpty back together again.

(it didn't go over well there either...)
