  Don't! Your efforts are not wasted.  Someone may well have
  learned more about PARSE as a result of it.  Reminds me of a
  story a pilot once told me about "flying the seatbelt".
  That's when the seatbelt gets caught in the door and when
  you're up in the air it starts rattling like mad and you
  start freaking out looking around for the problem and you
  end up "flying the seatbelt", instead of the plane, so you
  end up plowing into a mountain! :) Even pilots fly seatbelts
  occasionally.  (How's that for a cheery anecdote?)

  No apologies. That's what feedback's there for, but I think we
  could/should have spotted that earlier and saved you some
  frustration. :-) Hmm.. I suppose I should see if any bug
  reports were filled out on this one.  (Yep) Well -- all's
  well that ends well.

   Hey, Gabriele has magic SELMA confusing powers!
