Well, then, he doesn't deserve a
best node of the day award
for this one, but to be fair, he did acknowlege one (update: now both) of his mistakes, and
all I did was take his idea and "fix" it (update: and
gbarr just blew mine away :), so although it
was buggy starting out, it was an interesting idea to begin with, and I
don't begrudge him a few XP for that (as if I cared
seriously about
XP at all)...
If someone posts a "you blew it" reply, I'd expect a
followup "Hey, you're right" and maybe a fix (depending
on time available -- many of us are busy, you know), but
if someone (e.g., me) posts a fix, then what's the point
in replying to that, especially if you're busy?
