Richard,

You are incorrect about seed #0. It is a random number seed just like any other
number you specify.

I'm not sure I see the benefit of having Gremlin #0 essentially start off with a
random seed. One of the benenfits of Gremlins is its reproducability. If you
were to cause a bug to occur with your definition of Gremlin #0, you'd never be
able to reproduce the bug later if you needed to. And what good is a bug if you
can't reproduce it?

Providing a seed to gremlins is optional, correct?

If so, it seems likely that "0" is taken as "no
seed" and a random seed (taken from the time perhaps)
is used instead.

Can anybody confirm or dispell this idea?
