Not a True Believer, eh?

<grin>

Serious answer is that 'damnperfectionist' is one word -and- describes
both myself and my Lady-Wife.  Since we have a history together that goes
back to the first days of ANH, I guess this is just the current manifestation
of that.  <shrug>  Besides, I cannot say that I like the 'unfinished' look
to the half-dome head that the DDK delivers.

Cheers,

Roger
