We're certainly on the odd side over here. Our mental hospitals have
the sane people on the inside with the "inmates" wandering the
countryside. We're happier like that overall :)

Back on to topic (or at least a closer approach) it's disheartening to
see something criticised not for a flaw in it but a lack of
understanding. I suspect there are enough people around who've
benefitted from your work that the misconceptions about your include
files "limitations" wouldn't have stood for long.

BTW I finally got an animation I mentioned by e-mail oh - probably a
couple of years ago - into a state where I'm not too embarrased with
it. Although I'm trying out media instead of your lens flare (a recent
modification which I'm still working on) the "title sequence" still
uses your stars, your explosion to blow up out moon, and your clock
modifier all over the place. Saved me hours and hours of time.

Cheers mate :)
