> Lets call it who cares

Who? Lots of us. It may seem petty to you, but this is where the list
reflects its best asset - lots of good (and some great) coders pushing each
other to be better. Sure, the optimization in this case is mostly
insignificant, but it gets us all thinking of more efficient code, even in
the most mundane of methods. Jakob jumping in at the last minute with a
faster method, was completely expected, and appreciated, whether it has
practical value in and of itself of not. It's an art thing, a craftsmanship
thing. For those of us who have been doing Dir work for a while and know how
to code most of the functionality asked of us, this kind of exchange is
where we get value from the list. Because there is almost always a slightly
better way, even if the gain is transparent to the product. Thanks Colin and
Laurent - it was entertaining.

2 cents,
