Yeah, I was just musing that us engineers love to focus on things which don't really matter. It's an interesting phenomenon, and I do it all the time too. I wonder if the solution is as simple as continually asking ourselves, "Am I spending my time on one of the most critical aspects of the project?" Anyway, I didn't mean anything by it. :)



Yep! No offense taken. :-)

It's not just programmers, FYI. I got that from the dank world of creative writing. Spending a month working on a sonnet = not-totally-fun times.
