not sure how responding to a direct question is belabouring the point (granted the response was not so direct, but it was a somewhat-indirect response to a rather-indirect response to my initial comments). nonetheless, i do understand that it is possible to jump to the wrong conclusion when making a quick read (and even re-read) of posted code. and what i'm suggesting is that there are other helpful tools that one should use to verify one's initial diagnosis. and using those tools is especially appropriate when preparing to post a response that says that the OP is doing something wrong.
