Re: unit testing

Let me preface every reply here by YMMV. I strongly, strongly encourage people to tap into the unit testing community for all tools that are available to them. Also, let me say that despite any place where Steven and I disagree about the mechanics of unit testing, we're in firm agreement that UNI
