This line was soooo long that it blew up the Monk server rendering engine. Readers can paste the lines together into a single line if they want, but what's the point? You get the idea!!!

That $var name is only 167 chars long and makes my brain hurt! I have typed single command line command that long, but they are doing a lot of running this, piping that, etc...

If you are getting "Identifier too long", I think some serious thought about naming conventions is in order!
