Monster:
In truth, lots of us have charter memberships in the "Oh Sh!!" club. I'm certainly still alive through no skill of my own.
BUT CONSIDER: the only possible redeming feature of a horrible mistake is that it can serve as a learning experience. In all likelihood, "anib" has learned from the experience. But his post will be read by dozens, and it is far more difficult to learn from the mistakes of another. If my previous post serves to cool down one 18-year-old rocket jockey and keep his wheels down on the road and his carcass out of the grave, its purpose is served. I repeat the point: if you don't know what's ahead, don't drive like you're on a closed track. Risk sheetmetal, not your neck.
And, as before, we are all relieved that the tale had such a safe ending.
