This is my point, too.  One does not have to like it to respect the
value that it brings to others...but one does disrespect "others" if one
does say that they use it for no good reason or simply because they are
"followers" and incapable of thinking for themselves on the issue.

I like this construct.  The entire idea of "non-trivial" fully
represents my point that any code worth doing, is worth doing "right"
and right is dependent on ones opinion of it.

Agreed!  Never "trust" the code to be right (or wrong) but KNOW that the
code is right.

Agreed!  Who wants to even grab the furry little buggah when typing?
..especially when using vi(m)  :)
