> It's weird how smart people are naturally attracted to complexity like moth to a flame. Hah, I just experienced this when I asked my brother for a simple comparison of about 7 criteria in a 3 column table, to include in a report. He gave me 12 criteria not entirely from the data source I was looking for, and a cost calculator to boot. On the other hand, over the course of a few weekends he coded up a beautiful baroque bastard of an excel macro that saved us thousands of man-hours over 5 years.
