thanks for the reply. you would probably laugh out loud if you knew my background, but i don't really want to cop to this explicitly, in one post, and in public on HN.

even so, you have absolutely lapped me in this particular race. at any rate, i will reflect on these suggestions. this is one of those times i wish there was a PM feature here. oh well. do you mind if i ask who you work for and (approximately?) where you are? np if you don't wish to answer that, but it would be interesting to me. cheers.
