Hey GIL, you're here wasting time of your own free will.  Don't look to me
to be the purveyor of your quality discourse.  To me this is just hours
between implementing stuff.

Although actually, there's another agenda.  I know *someone* out there is
going through the same shit I have / I am.  The posts are for their benefit,
to give them warnings / inklings.

Why, because I turned around a project in 3 weeks while having the flu half
the time?

I laugh, over and over again, at all the people who declare 3D spherical
icosahedral planetary display engines to be trivial, or VS .NET 2003 ports
of Freeciv to be trivial, or any other project I've sunk blood into and run
into difficulties.  I know better.  It's water off my back because I know
what an armchair peanut gallery sounds like.

You try to do something big, you put your money on the line to do it, you
fail or don't entirely succeed, you give postmortem, you lay all your cards
out for others to examine... *then* I will worry about your opinion.

Those who never taste failure are haughty.
