Wow, 7 arguments.  Isn't there some nice rule of thumb that says once
you get more then 5, a function becomes impossible to understand?

Surely this could be a structure passed in here somehow, that way when
you add the 8th argument in the future, you don't have to change
everything yet again?  :)

I don't have anything concrete to offer as a replacement fix for this,
but to me this just feels really wrong...

thanks,
