Thanks for that, that's it.

Don't worry! I have no intention of leaving it in the code, and will probably opt for the subroutine method anyway, I do generally work with half an eye on maintainability.
What REALLY bugged me was not being able to figure out HOW to shortcut it even if I wasn't going to use the shortcut in the end product...There might be 8 WTDI in this case but i knew there was a shorter WTDI somewhere....
