My intent was to tweak Greg a bit for what seemed to be condescending 
attitudes about the organization of the code, although I'm not going to 
go back and quote chapter and verse to illustrate my argument.

A e.g. from my own life was an intern I had working for me a couple of 
years ago.  I would posit an idea--he was an intern, so oftentimes I was 
floating things for discussion that were off the beaten path a bit.  His 
canonical behavior was swift and acute: "Well that's the stupidest thing 
I've ever heard of."

After the third or fourth time I heard that phrase, I began to wonder 
how I was able to continuously generate ideas of that degree of negative 
excellence :-)

I struggled to get him to understand that it was far more useful to say 
something along the lines of, "Well, if we mount the board in the box 
with the shorter standoffs, won't it get too hot?"

That was my point.

Thanks.

B.
