    Guys,
    fair enough. I thought the semi-serious name would have been indication enough
    for someone to hit the delete key and remove the name, but I guess not.

    I'll probably hear from a Mr. Max Delete from the Exchange next wanting to
    know why I instigated this.

    Reminds me of the story of the support call for the instructions that said
    "insert disk1. insert disk2 when prompted. insert disk 3 when prompted."
    and the caller only inserted and never removed the previous disks...

    ;-)

    I should have stopped at "There probably isn't a one-size fits all solution".
