	Which was exactly the point I was making, and was precisely the
information the poster needed. My first sentence was the controlling point,
and based on the original post I felt that pointing the gentleman in the
right direction without spelling out every nauseating detail of the
situation would be sufficient, and guess what, I was right. 

	Next time you feel like making a smart-ass comment, 1) Make sure you're
right, 2) Realize that it still makes you an ass, and 3) Lie down till the
feeling goes away.
