I'm quickly quitting this because it's getting out of hand. Murf, PLEASE
READ WHAT I WROTE. I didn't say variations were "bad", I wrote, "One of
the things that truly makes my blood boil is to listen to some dolt
bad-mouth a pattern when in fact they aren't fishing anything resembling
the original." Read it carefully, particularly the words, "bad-mouth a
pattern when in fact they aren't fishing anything resembling the
original."
