    Ha! Welcome to that not-so-exclusive club. It only took doing that once before I decided to just add a reminder comment (in all caps) to my Ant template. Of course, in my experience the likelihood of repeating an error is inversely proportional to the amount of time spent trying to fix it the first time.
