Thanks, Rob - After years and years of ignoring Pipes, I decided this week I was going to learn how to use them. I found some excellent documentation, thanks to you and others, and have dived head first into the pool. But even with the Authors Edition, and Pipelines Visualized, I'm still struggling with multi-stream plumbing. I just need more practice and see good examples.
