KISS principle
KISS is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid" as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960.[1][2] The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design, and that unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

This in no way is a criticism Lenn - I just like the complex latch design you came up with instead of a hasp and staple or something like that. There used to be a saying that there was no reason to keep it plain and simple when you could make it complex and wonderful.
