Dennis, I think your "Avoidance Principle" is a wise one. And, having turned this phrase, please allow me to offer a URL to everyone. I've visited it once and found myself ROTFL as well as re-validated in my views regarding good systems development practices. It's a somewhat lengthy treatise entitled, "How To Write Unmaintainable Code" - it'll probably take several visits before I'm done reading it all.
