Yes Ken, it's good to remember our humble beginnings.  While we laugh now, 
we're years after someone who laughed at us.  Keeps us humble. :)  But at least 
we can enjoy it now!  I guess we've earned our 'stripes'.

I love this stuff! I get the biggest kick out of going through some of 
the things people write. I was doing some enhancements on an app for a 
client a year or so ago and there were several templates well over 1,000 
lines each with variables named aa1, aa2, aa3, bb1, bb2, bb3 and on and 
on forever. I wouldn't have missed the laughs I got our of that one for 
worlds. My favorite of all though, are the ones with crazy loops to 
build lists out of queries and other crazy little techniques people come 
up with when they don't know to use the built-in functions at their 
disposal. On a more humble note, I'm sure I provided some of these 
samples 9 or 10 years ago when I was just getting started too.
