Hmmm.. Interesting.. Now I see why it's considered a bug. Glad you could set me straight. 8)

But.. irrelevant? That's your point of view and I will not stop.. I started the node? I could turn it into a discussion about pink elephants in green tu-tu's! Ok.. that's irrelevant.. and not something I'd do on perlmonks. (Or will I?) ;D

My point is.. If I make a mistake.. Point out my mistake and move on.. knowing that it's a mistake I'll likely not make again. but please don't ask me not to try and understand a problem or make a comment that may help someone understand my point of view.

If I don't ask.. I wont learn.. If I don't learn.. what's the point of this forum? It took one node Assining data to an array is slow.. to help me understand context and optimize a 6.5 hour process to under 30 minutes. That question was completely irrelevant to that project.. or was it? Sometimes answers WILL cascade into other answers.. Purely by mistake.

Ok.. time to put this thread to rest.. Thanks for the discussion.. Believe it or not.. I have walked away with something.. I apologize if I have wasted anyones time. Just add me to your 'to filter' list. ;D

Regards,
SMF
