You think it bothers you now! As you build your beautiful MOTM system,
module by module, each one constructed better than the last, your gut will
churn acid and you will choke on the toxic fumes of your guilt, as you think
about that long ago not so buried secret in the heart of your MOTM system -
that shameful hunk of electrical tape that is just waiting to announce to
the world "I AM A MISTAKE!!! I AM A MISTAKE THAT WASN'T CORRECTED!!!"
Take 15 minutes and redo it right. You'll be able to sleep at night. Give
your MOTM the construction it deserves. This time it may be electrical tape,
next time you'll be tempted to use duct tape or rosin core solder. Powerful
is the Dark Side.
