...it's worth whatever...?  Maybe it's worth checking the archives  
before you post to see if a subject has been discussed, I dunno...

...oh c'mon, do you always dither when confronted with a contra- 
argument?  I hope not, for your sake...it's just that I searched my  
archives and didn't see anywhere that you'd contributed code; yet all

didn't make sense to me to agree  :-)

...and please don't be so easily spooked away, "...words have never  
broken bones" and all that...
