I tell you what, this is a shining light of greatness and Peter
deserves true kudos. As he says, when he started posting he was doing
all the things that us boring old-timers declared as "wrong"; he
railed against the flaming he received and attempted to justify his
behaviour. Since then, he has learned that there are reasons that
these conventions have grown up other than just a clinging to a
pointless "tradition", and has himself assumed not only the
conventions of that tradition but evangelism of them to a new
audience. A convert to the Right Way of doing things, because he's now
seen the reason for them and agrees. Good work, Peter.

Now we just have to stop you trying to sell me Dell servers I can't afford. ;-)
