Butt-ugly eh? :)  I hope I provide more inspiration for newsgroup fodder for

And BTW, when referring to ugliness, some folks might not be able to take it,
so using "IMO" in such statements can work wonders. But personally, I don't
give a yak's booger about whether people think my stuff is ugly or not.
