Well, I'm in there with you. I think of the headers as a great beast
about to bite!

Was writing a continuing grant that funded *all* of the homeless shelter
services at the agency I ran, fully a third of our total annual budget,
and neglected the "save frequently" discipline <this is ten years ago,
before auto-save>. One and a half hours to deadline, five pages just
*poof* disappeared! And I had been writing without notes. I believe my
subsequent version was *considerably* more concise than the first ;)
 
Take care,
