I didn't say I wanted to surprise anyone.  Actually, *I* was the one who
was surprised.

I haven't looked at what you've done yet.  Perhaps it will make my job
easier.  It's just that I'd said a few times that I wanted to work on this
(in the ;login: article, too), so I was surprised that you'd done it
without letting me know.  I probably wasn't vocal enough, I s'pose.
