I liked how you phrased these standard responses before. I just had to laugh when I read how you are writing them now: "Maybe this ... would be a good start".
Come on. You are wimping out! People who complain about you have absolutely no life. Don't take them seriously. Most of them are probably still living at home. I like how you put things before. I liked your style. Don't change!

I'm not wimping out at all. Sometimes, I feel something I've written in a column is spot-on advice for the question at hand. I didn't feel that was the case on this one... some of the code is reusable, while other parts of it are completely distracting. And the parts that were applicable weren't some of my better-written stuff. {grin}
So, I couldn't say "I have a column on that". I had to say "Some parts of this column are applicable, perhaps."
No wimp. Just truth.
