[ demo snipped ]

More likely Tedd's operating system (I do *not* suggest Tedd himself) 
has a bug.

Or perhaps it's going wrong because of the machine-tooled purity of the 
code. May we assume that virtually all of your demo was generated 
programmatically by a well-known FB4 utility?

A moment ago I was amazed to find myself talking to the author of The 
Window Maker, indeed interviewing him.

R: The stylistic precision of TWM code is noteworthy. Here I refer to a 
property evidently despised by many FB programmers as icing, cosmetic 
pedantry, or --- how cruel! --- iCandy.
B: Well, you should know. Didn't we have a long email correspondence on 
this exact subject?
R: Er
B: Surely you remember trying to browbeat me into copying your own 
stylistic idiosyncrasies?
R: Er
B: Anyway, to answer the question. It is not widely known that the 
source code of The Window Maker has a very different style from its 
products. Personally, I'm into creative self-expression through code.

At this juncture (or perhaps AT THIS JUNCTURE) I pitched forward, my 
head struck the keyboard, and I awoke.
