Bruce, if you spent as much time (re)coding, as you do analysing and
describing others code, I think we all would be better off. This is
NOT the way to encourage a new contributor. The code might not be
perfect, but it is a step in the right direction. Now that you have
described how bad it is, and have the right ways in fresh memory, I
look forward to your perfect implementation in the next couble of days :)
