Period voice retained; spelling and formatting lightly cleaned.
Originally published 17 December 2010 on the earlier martinpeniak.com site.
Preserved as site-history context from the earlier public site. The article keeps its period voice, with light formatting cleanup.
I take this opportunity to thank you all for making this possible since without people reading these posts there would be no point in writing anything.
As usual, please let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas for further improving the website functionality and content.
