You know, if we were all physically in the same place, I would stand on a 
chair at this point and scream "COULD WE PLEASE GET THE FUCK A GRIP ON 
OURSELVES?!"

Instead, I will humbly beg that all the snidely edgy comments about
religion, operating systems, and their overlap PLEASE go to email and STAY
THERE. 

I'll even apologize for my relatively on-topic rant which I just said I'd 
stand by. There. See? I'm sorry. Kevin asked a question about what kind 
of puzzles require what kind of power from the IF system, and I got 
carried away in the course of composing my reply.

The competition entries will come out this week, and I really don't want 
to spend the intervening time hearing about who just insulted which 
fraction of the human race, or what Macintoshes had to do with it.
