Merlyn,
I thank you. This is actually very constructive critisim. Hopefully, it's obvious that I don't do a lot of bash programming, and I picked the mentioned code up from other bash scripts I had laying around and guess and check. Unfortunately what I've found online very rarely explains in detail as you have, and is often times more like my code than yours.

Once again, I thank you for keeping me honest, and for attempting to understand my thinking. I know it's scary inside my head, heck I have to live there every day.
