I'm a stupid GIT

[Richmond Mathewson]

Indeed it does, and until recently I really was almost unconscious of 
this, but, then, I stumbled on a
sticking-point with regard to implementing some awkward Grantha 
Samyuktaksharas (what on earth
are those? Don't worry, it's just Richmond posing about his "vast 
knowledge" in an area so obscure it may
have almost no value at all) and Unicode: and . . . licketty-split Mark 
W. both got to work on the problem
and opened my eyes as to just how majorly complex these things are under 
the hood; while all I have
to do is drive the machine.

Of course if I sad that I loved the LiveCode people they'd get the wrong 
impression, so, taking a leaf
out of Michael Jackson's book I'll just say that they are BAD!

Richmond.
