Nor am I trying to imply that you two don't make any effort to test.  I test 
more because I have less self-confidence.  Or turning it around a different 
way, I commit less broken code than you do because I have less 
self-confidence.  I test more thoroughly, surely, and I also do very little, 
because I don't feel equipped to bite off much in the way of major work.  
(This rebeaming thing I'm trying to work on in the experimental branch is 
getting nowhere, for instance, and that's probably going to turn out to be 
Yet Another Project Chris Had to Do By Himself, I'm afraid.)

Most assuredly.  I could have picked it up too.  I've thought about it many 
times, but my toenails always looked like they could use a good plastering 
first.

I'll go look at it.
