Disposal

The last couple of days I've been struggling to get a program to delete things safely. I was thinking before about how things are usually considered hard to build up and difficult to knock down. After that I realized the problem is much less the getting rid of stuff you no longer need. The problem is getting rid of it without messing up anything else in the process by pulling out things that hold others up (think mining). After many problems with various bits looking for pieces that just went in the trash (C# automated garbage collector, they call it. No kidding.), I think I have things solved, till I need to remove more things.

In short, the tough bit about destroying things is destroying them in such a way that you don't inadvertently screw up everything else at the same time.

Which is why we need to stop boiling that darn frog.
