Now I understand what you were trying to tell me. And you are absolutely
correct, the example was contrived. I'll take guidance on how I could
have better formulated it.

I must confess to being pleasantly surprised that you were here to read
my message and I wasn't quite sure if you were going to reply to my
direct query since I'd obviously spiked your ire, but again, you
pleasantly come through with the goods.

Given the volume of discussion on this topic, I can only conclude that
this discussion will likely rage for some time to come, just like
vi/emacs, win/linux, mac/pc, holden/ford etc. (For those counting, I
don't use either vi or emacs, use Linux on whatever it runs on and drive
an Iveco.)

Clare, if you've gotten to here, please don't feel that you shouldn't
open your "big mouth", because I'm certain that you have more to
contribute to this list than some I can think of.

Regards,
