I didn't cross post, I set the reply to field to the talk list.  I
just forgot to point out it was TITTTL'd.

I agree totally, but the given "solution" was to a question that 
hadn't been posed.

Rather it was a response to his own post about how he'd worked out 
(by reference to a very recently decried site) how to implement your 
answer to the original question, which (as you pointed out) he'd 
already answered himself in the subject line of the initial post.

Although my attention has now lapsed somewhat, it appears from the 
continuing thread that I was right to flag up, albeit in an oblique 
manner, that the "solution" given was perhaps not of the highest
provenance.
