| 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 ;-)

lol. at least you're funny.
