I tend to -- probably misleading myself that I'm "saving" on something
(disk space, update time, who knows).

I'll have to remember that -- it will probably avoid similar problems
with other subsystems.

Sad to say, but I probably will.  Hopefully google will find my post.

Honestly, that's happend to me a couple times: I trip over a problem,
and when looking for the solution Google finds a 6 year old thread (I
started) from the first time I ran into the problem.  It's really
embarassing when your working with somebody else on the problem and
_they_ stumble across that old thread containing the solution.
