My instincts (the same ones that told me not to post this at all -- and it ends up on the front page no less! ), told me it would be a waste to shove this in a hash just to sort it.

The whole prolem here is I will never know what the length of the array will be, which thing I will be trying to find out is in the list or which list I need to compare it to until run time. This just makes it easier. I guess I'm not the only one who think's there could be a better way to do this though -- as there has been much debate over it. I love when the monks get going on something...even when it is my lame code : )

-- I'm a solipsist, and so is everyone else. (think about it)
