I thought it was just a logical pun progression from pointless to aimless.  

Perhaps the next program will be useless?

DISCLAIMER: This is intended as a JOKE...
I FULLY appreciate and use the wonderful programs generated by Phil.

Just in case I unintentionally start yet another CCP4bb flame-a-thon.
