Oh. I just hate it when users get involved. It really screws up
perfectly good software.

This is pretty revealing though. I have lots of code that allow users
to take notes - I never
bump into this problem when I use the stuff because I tend to be a
little note-taker. This goes to show you that probably nobody uses my
code. Uhoh, this could be bad for the ol' self-esteem.

Let's not think about that.

Cheers,
Ben
