JD, of course, is famous, but hardly anyone reads (well,
finishes) his articles. I, on the other hand, am not
famous at all, but a lot of people have read the nonsense
I've written. The difference between us is the
energy differential given off by the human brain when
they read a line of code like that compared to my humble
PrintPath program. :-)

Cheers,

David
