[Lowfer] When you fix one thing...

[Ed Tanton]

I have always found that, as a rule, the easiest way to find out either:

         a) what is broken that I just haven't noticed yet; or...
         b) what is going to break just as soon as a moment of highest 
inconvenience occurs;

is to fix something on my long list of stuff needing repairs. Inevitably, 
two or three things will then make themselves known in whatever irritating 
fashion they can find at the moment.

Of course... with software, things get exponentially wrong in a hurry. 
Usually, that extra, little, seemingly insignificant, item I threw in as an 
afterthought to the repair I was working on; is really the NEW culprit; and 
finds 3 more ways to manifest what looks JUST LIKE the original problem-but 
has nothing what-so-ever; nothing at all; nada; to do with it. And by the 
time ALL have been found-or removed in exasperation, the ORIGINAL bug will 
have mysteriously disappeared, with no clue as to what I did that fixed it. 
This, with HTML-stuff, anyway.
