Suffering For Your Art

[mkx at excite.com]

I only suffer when my coworkers make me work with their VBScript code,
because they don't know Python, and they have a TON of VB stuff built
over the past years.

The only thing worse (for me - no flame baiting of offense intended),
is when we find left over Perl code that the previous guy wrote. Then
we are pained _and_ confused.
