Wrong. The reason everything is such a mess at the moment is precisely because we've accumulated so much "good enough" and "not thinking your cunning plan all the way through" that nothing is actually correct any more.

We can't afford more mistakes, and we have to actively fix existing ones. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/Sxep36LANAeL/Bgr0avvAQm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlPScTkACgkQ96zL6DUtXhFC+ACgnCVwe7e4RXEOtEYt3LOi7WVm s8YAoLXwlN/5I94cqUTP+Z3mi/iM3JUJ =xOoH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/Sxep36LANAeL/Bgr0avvAQm--
