The thing is, I woke up today and the first thing I thought was: "&�$&! 
that phrase about new is soooo wrong. What was I thinking?"
So the moral of the story is:
Don't drink and post.

If you code then you can always run your (ever present) unit tests and 
catch it later (there's always a second chance). No way to avoid public 
humiliation if you post though :)
