Ralph,

I'd been told that quote came from Goering or one of them other Nazi weiners.  How about paraphrasing Monty Python instead, something like, "I see you've played 'read the spec' before!"  (Its so much more fun to play when they in fact have not read the spec...but then I
prefer to go confrontational with overwelming righteousness.)  (Does that make me a bully...Mr. Sensitive?).
