in thread Strip first name from string

FWIW , usually, when one goes the more verbose route in posts, its to help the noobs, for example
my $foo = sprintf ...; print "$foo\n";

So  print sprintf ...

Its kinda like using qq{} and q{} for oneliners --- makes the readers life more copy/paste and less editing :)

Just my impression
