My apologies belong in this thread.  Sorry, nicke, I react to the
"f**ked"  without considering that you might have only meant "... could
not really have been designed this way."  I seldom use such language,
and only now noticed the smiley after it.  What is the typogram for
"I feel like an idiot?"

In any case I should have been a bit more gentle in suggesting that
this is the way we help ourselves forward -- by fixing when the first
instinct is to curse.  Certainly calling anything "name-calling"
was a pretty lousy invitation to play along.
