I'm not an insider at LUGNET and I've never seen the code or heard about until
the remarks here. I have been a coder/designer (and whatever terms apply) at
various shops over the years and I *have* seen code where calling it 'patched'
would have been generous (like 20 year old BAL programs that a dozen programmers
had imparted their own style upon). Based on the sesibility of your remarks so
far, I'm real curious to hear about "those other blocks". I have a few
suspicions, but I'll wait until it becomes more clear.
