    Right, but for something that simple, I don't see the harm in
pointing in the proper direction.  If someone can learn faster than I
was able to teach myself by my helping them, everyone benefits.

    Mine may look like a run-on sentence, but there's also less
parsing and processing involved.  Fewer cycles lead to faster scripts.

    I have to admit, Jochem, I don't get it.  My name is one of the
shortest and plainest on the list (Dan Brown).... zip me a message
off-list so that I don't feel as though I'm missing out on a joke.
I'm guessing I'm just not processing very well this morning.
