    Speaking of taking things offline, I Googled your display name, curious, figuring it was some clever programming meme... definitely NSW! :-O Sorry

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

    Yeah wouldn't recommend clicking Googles "I'm feeling lucky" on that one. Was going to put a warning in my sig. saying don't Google but of course that would just have the opposite effect.

            Admit it: You are just trying to get more people to Google the user name.

            I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

                  We'd better discuss that offline, this is no Lounge matter.

                                        You set yourself up for that one!

                                          Yeah wouldn't recommend clicking Googles "I'm feeling lucky" on that one. Was going to put a warning in my sig. saying don't Google but of course that would just have the opposite effect.

                                          I've been curios for a while now... why did you choose that name? It seems kinda out-of-place on this site.

                                          What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
