Ah man, at the height of your bottoming out I almost sent you a recommendation to do just what you did. =) That rocks. You probably should have quit posting as princepawn alogether and just switched to metaperl.

And while I can see merlyn's point to an extent, you have provided enough service as an agitator that one more agitation shouldn't be enough to condem you as untrustworthy, if anything, your stubborn insistence on staying here is sort of admirable. As long as you don't swing over too far toward the "I told you all so" side. =)
