Actually I just thought it was amusing, thats all. I found it while doing some preparation for my radio show and thought with a little adaptation it would amuse some people here. I'm sorry Joe got a bit put out by it. I never intended that Joe. It's just a joke ok?
And it hit home because I've caught myself in the past spending half a day writing an application with a database etc to record something for a one-off job and provide the hooks for later analysis, when in truth all that was really needed was a piece of paper and a pen. But it's just a joke. That's all.
