Not so that you'd notice..... ;-)
Actually this is a case of finally getting round to writing down the
ideas
I'd had for the K'V for a long while - I've always intended them to have
some kind of berserker-mode and a "reversed" confidence system for DS
and
SG; I know I've discussed this some time ago with quite a few people,
but
can't recall if I've ever talked about it on-list or not. I'm glad that
it
fits in with what you've been devising, and yes, I'm sure we can share
ideas and have some cross-pollination (oo-er...) - remember, "great
minds
think alike, and fools seldom differ".... :-)
