Many many people are not willing to put in the time to learn that. However, 
I'm glad that Kevin is... that's why I was one of the people who went 
through the whole exercise with him, piece by piece and detail by detail. 
Now that he is done, the thing works, and he understands what he is doing 
better than before... *now* I comment to him that I feel changing the tool 
used would benefit him in the future. Reasonable process, methinks.

Cheers,
