Off topic, but interesting, Someone else keeps quoting this at me... I prefer Knuth - paraphrased as I cant remember the quote - The best software projects are the ones where the source code has been lost about half way through the development and started from scratch. The point is programmers start by exploring a problem space without understanding it. Poor programmers just accept the first solution they put down. Good programmers re-implement. Great programmers have a sixth sense of when things are about to get ugly, and start again (and the better you are the less you actually have to implement before you realise things can be refactored for the better)...

What's my point in all this? I supposed it might be summed up as: "The best is the enemy of the good".
