Well, actually, you've discovered the secret. This is the real initiation
ritual.. We set the candidate committers up to have a screw-up and see if
they have a thick enough skin to handle it gracefully. If they can, then
the odds are they will be able to handle something tougher like an adverse
bde review without taking it too personally. :-)
(Yes, I am joking! Seriously though, we all make mistakes. Most of us are
here for personal enjoyment, so don't sweat it! :-)
