The beauty of the scripts and snippets that are posted here at the Monastery is the comments below them. If someone posts bad code, it will be pointed out very quickly. And if you see a snippet with no comments, feel free the check it out it and comment on it.

However, I feel that the only time you should 'cut and paste' someone else's code into 'your own' is when you know what the consequences will be. And if you don't . . . may Saint Wall have mercy on you soul.
