"This I will say to you: your thread stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will close..."
(This thread really does belong in Mirth, but since the moderator there shifted the responsibility back to me, I'm keeping an eye - both, as often as I can spare them - on the posts. Please remember to avoid too much chattiness, as it creates the impression of going off-topic. Thanks!)
