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

        No, not all - but you just get a "sense" that some of them are not quite what they purport to be: it can be font, a change in writing style, word choice, or just the images chosen. Or perhaps a eighth sense... Then it's generally a random sentence thrown at Google and "Bingo!" you have the source.

                                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.

                                        I'd feel a deep sense of relief if you and DeathByChocolate took yourselves offline, as in to a small island somewhere with no internet connection. Perhaps on Bora Bora, or the like, you could bore yourselves to death.
