>>>I remember a case a few years ago where a UT member refused to try my code, because it was to simple. In his mind the problem was so complicated that it couldn't be done with just a few lines of code! He kept on trying other more complex solutions provided by other people, but never seemed to solve his problem.

Another good one in the pig aphorisms department is "Never wrestle with a pig. You'll get muddy and the pig might enjoy it." The origin of that one is debated, with Mark Twain often mentioned. (I read recently that a high percentage of the things attributed to Twain are things he never said at all).
