You wouldn't let anyone else get away with saying "it could be done 
easily".  If it was so easy, you could find the time.  If you can't find 
the time, it's not that easy.  You just said it you could do it 
overnight, I say there's no way.

You're right, it's a copout, and I'm not buying it.  Sorry.  And even 
with a smiley, to intimate that you spend more  time with your family 
than I do is sheer hokum of the *nastiest* kind and utterly 
inappropriate on this list.  Let's stick with the facts, and the fact is 
I've shown a working application.

This, by the way, is exactly the reason I've made the challenge.  
Because there is a lot of bravado on the list, but very little 
substance.  Until you prove it, you're blowing smoke.
