OK you made the mistake of posting this to a forum full of programmers

However, no one has yet to catch your design flaw. I guess they're not as good as me.

"...and I drop crap along the way" is an implicit statement in one regard and explicit in the other. Implicit in that some may conclude it is the horse that is dropping crap along the way. Explicit, in that the buggy has a toilet seat instead of a regular seat and you are, in fact, dropping crap along the way.

Now, since many people still use Internet Explorer, which is also known as "IE", the initials "IE" can also be used in this sense in that the statement can be both Implicit and Explicit, or "IE".

Since "IE" (Internet Explorer) itself is crappy, one might conclude that you're dropping 3x crap along the way which is, as you noted, "Kind of like using a text editor" after all.

I rest my (crappy) case.
The best way to improve Windows is run it on a Mac.
The best way to bring a Mac to its knees is to run Windows on it.
