Now ya know why I *always* put a blank line at the end of *everything*:
.htm files, .css files, .c files, .l files, plain text files, email,
*everything*.

There was at least one uu-/xxdecoder program that'd require an *extra*
blank line at the end of a source file, else it'd crap out with an
incomplete decoding.  So I'd just give it 3-4 extra.  :D

Don't take this the wrong way, but that's just *too* funny...  :D
