Right on, John. I regularly get hassled as a "purist" when I say things
like that, so it's good to see someone else saying it.  

I've observed that the database design eventually gets patched.  It's much
quicker to do it before programming, though.

(The other cause of gymnastics is "cleverness" in using some system feature
such as multiple members...)
