Right on all counts!

TY and ++

Coder (yeah, /me) abandoned all good practice by writing a little code; getting another (allegedly) bright idea; cutting/tweaking/adding functions/routines/code without careful review of previous code (and then 'rinsing, repeating').

The initial idea may or may not be worth anything; the procedures by which this code was written deserve to be castigated far more harshly than the gentle jwkrahn did. But, gentle reader, future development should attend carefully to those wise observations.
