   It wasn't an OS development question.  I used a large and complex   
   system written in assembly by me personally, conveying my experience   
   in the matter, to indicate writing the bulk of code we'd write in   
   assembly could be better written in C, with only those needed portions   
   actually written in assembly.  I have found it more difficult at 48   
   to maintain the code I wrote easily at 28.  And today, I wish I would've   
   written most of my OS in C.

   I find it very difficult to *PLONK* people, and I revisit each of my   
   decisions nightly in prayer, correcting any mistakes I made, or altering   
   those things I don't feel I can do or continue doing in good conscience.   
   It is a focused purpose to do what's right, and not just respond in   
   haste or emotionally.   
      
   You are a difficult person for me to interact with, Rod.  I apologize   
   if I fail you from time to time.
