We are already on the same page, it seems. But you and dragonchild still don't quite realize who you are arguing with. I was using map, and I never agreed that we needed a specialized tool -- I do not like Limbic's implementation (sorry, Limbic). Perhaps I misinterpreted your response based on the fact that I was the parent of your post...which was definitely confusing. I was saying "yes there is a need to sometimes call methods against a list", of which the whole thread got really convoluted rather quickly when I was trying to debate a percieved statement that "I can never see a reason to call a method on every object in a list", which didn't quite make sense.

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, I say we forget about the whole sub-thread.
