We have spell-check.

We have grammar-check.

Wouldn't it be great if someone came up with idiot-check?  This utility
would scan the content of the E-Mail you are about to send for any reference
to attachments and display the error "you forgot to include the attachment
you idiot!" if it didn't find an attached document.  This would help us all
to avoid that sinking feeling just after pressing send and realizing there
is no   document attached.  It would also save the time sitting there trying
to think up a cutesy "oops" statement to send with the previously promised
document.

I'm glad you found it humorous.  I'm not so sure.  After all, it was
me that they were quoting!
