- Before we get too far re-posting soundex code, let me ask another
- question: I tried using this thing and found it pretty useless.
- What's it good for? I tried to use it to find names, and it was
- just awful at it! Is anyone at all using this for anything real
- today, or is it a clever idea that didn't quite work?
