    Thanks, I didn't know that.

    Well, given that I didn't know what aspect of my code was causing the problem, and that this is indeed a stripped-down version of it... I apologise for offending you.

    Hmm, I was going to comment on your => note, but I see you've already removed that comment. Never mind.
