Every time I see this question I remember how remiss I am
at getting things posted to my web page. :-(

So, anyway, I finally got around to posting some of the better
answers to this question in my Tips section. Thanks to Paul,
and Liam, and William Clodius for helping us all more fully
appreciate this topic. There are some good links in the article
for those of you who find this interesting. :-)

Cheers,
