Thanks for the suggestion. That is, in fact, exactly the conclusion I
came to
and implemented so users did not have to wait 14+ seconds for the CHOOSE

You probably came to the same net result of 14 seconds every version is
infinitely better than 14 seconds every query.

Webster's says it's a "Needless repetition of an idea in a word, phrase etc.
eg. necessary essentials"
Sort of the opposite end of the spectrum to an oxymoron. Did you see the
list of oxymorons floating around a few months back? Things like:
Government organization
Military intelligence
Council worker

Microsoft works
(sorry Joe, I know I shouldn't be fueling Jeff.)
