I used the incredible power of procrastination. It was _much_ more
entertaining to browse google postings "Harris + idiot author:ullrich"
(only 137 IIRC), than it was to do whatever it was I was supposed to
be doing (chase down some bugs in some code...).

And now, back to chasing down some bugs in some code (or maybe I'll do
just a little more browsing first...)
