Sounds like a plan.

LOL!

(My proof, btw, would be source files.)

Cheers and grins,

Another benefit is that you can use it to verify a claim of
authorship.

For example: A suspicious old b*st*rd like me, having been presented
with the world's greatest manual as part of your portfolio, might be
inclined to view with suspicion your claim to be its author. If you
can point out the signature it would help to substantiate your
statement.(I am, having been dazzled by your verbal pyrotechnics,
already persuaded that you have written such a manual.) ;->

Three little words Sean, "need-to-know." So far as I'm concerned, no
one needs to know but you and those you *choose* to share it with.

I'll buy you a beer for the sheer joy of spending the time pounding on
the table and talking loudly.
