I'm a programmer, and I know there are just things that a human can see
easily that a computer cannot. And all the time, my users expect that I
will be able to make the computer act like a human, with human discernment
of what doesn't fit a pattern, and what does. Sometimes, it just can't be
done. I think header stripping may be one of those cases. There are a
whole lot of ways a header can be screwed up. Which is why I handstrip,
to make sure that darned stripper won't ruin my work.
