May I recommend someone to you who probably _is_ at your currently
rather lonely level, where we, earthbound minions, can only look up to
and tell our children wonderful fairytale stories of?

Look up Alan Connor, if you haven't already bumped into him at the six
mile high Ole Boys Network. He _surely_ will understand fully what you
mean and how we all fail to see the immense talent and wisdom you exhume.

In case you need further directions, Alan's in the encyclopaedia of
utter bliss following the terms 'Troll', 'A-hole' and 'Pseudologica
Fantastica'. Why they are in that particular order no-one down here knows.

@ Phil: Although there may be some valid points to be made (and done so
by others) about the actual code you posted, and while I share the
curiousness about the performance of your custom solution compared to
the off-the-shelf alternative, please ignore the trash talk. It's
something that appearantly comes with usenet territory. It's been in
fashion with some for years now, and it will probably outlive us all,
but after a while it's easier living with this minor nuisance than with
a boil on your behind or mosquitoes in the bedroom at night.
And, of course, there's always that shred of hope we will all once see
the light and are allowed to join the ranks of those miscomprehended
superheroes ;-)
