Bernd, I saw that. That's exactly why I was a bit confused about the initialization in the variable declaration. Back when I was a lad there were two schools of thought. One half of people did initialize all variables upon declaration, the other half never did so, initializing them in the main code body instead. That way you could make it clear to an outside reviewer from which point on a variable is actually used.
