Not only that, but he took on a long list of other projects nobody wanted to 
touch before I accidentally marooned him in that particular quagmire.  I had 
no idea what a wretched job it was going to turn out to be, and I'm extremely 
grateful I've been able to avoid having to know anything about any of that 
code for this long.

I don't want anybody to read into my comments that I'm wagging my finger at 
Chris Fryer here, or that I'm disappointed, or unappreciative.  Hell, the guy 
worked on code all through his vacation in Spain for crying out loud.

I'm just being realistic about big ideas that are vapor ever coalescing into 
anything, and how to roll on if they don't.  If this fancy curve thing doesn't 
happen, it's right up there with a laundry list of other ideas we've all had 
every intention of getting done eventually, and have still failed to get done.
