<p>Just FYI... I am not the jdporter who is <i>aka</i> [boo_radley]. (Indeed, he and I have been striving over the "jdporter" alias for many years. :-)</p>

<h4>Signature</h4>
<p>Previously, I used this:<blockquote>
Between the <b>mind</b> which plans and the <b>hands</b> which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the <b>heart</b>.
</blockquote>
This is a line (my own translation) from the classic movie <i>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017136/quotes|Metropolis]</i>.
Incidentally, my homenode pic above is a frame cap from this movie as well.
</p><p>
In the movie, the building of the mega-city Metropolis is likened to the legendary tower of [wp://Babel].
This was intended as a warning: Knowing the fate which befell Babel, the builders of the present age should
take care to avoid the same sins, and thus the same fate. Specifically, the builders of Babel lacked "heart" (a spirit of compassion and a willingness to compromise), and this resulted in a cataclysmic conflict between management and labor.

A classic gem by [eyepopslikeamosquito]: <b>I eagerly await the invention of a time machine so I can feast my eyes upon your majestic code. I estimate the probability of you having actually written such code is about the same as the probability of the invention of a time machine that allows us to view it.</b>
