As for my posts referring to your code, Geoff, I hoped I had made it  
sufficiently clear already that I was using it as a jumping off point  
to elaborate on the issues of what is a bug and differences in user  
experiences, and nothing at all to do with your code which I  
understood and accepted in the context in which you presented it.

cheers
