  20. I agree.  I am the supplicant who wrote that question.  When I
  21. received the answer, I thought the answer lacked effort and
  22. creativity-- so I resubmitted it!  Imagine my surprise when it made
  23. the Digest!  (Incidentally, if you're wondering, the second answer I
  24. received was no better.  The content was virtually identical, but it
  25. didn't read as well.)
