That often happens. There's too much interesting software to write! :)

Happy to help.

My introduction to the programming community was through a BBS run by my 
local Mac user group.  I posted my first question there about 
manipulating certain Mac resources, and one of the members patiently 
explained how it worked and what I needed to do to get my job done -- 
just two hours later.

That was a magic moment for me, one repeated often enough that I began 
to understand the true value of the programming community: no one has to 
solve every problem by themselves so long as they have a modem. :)

At that time I'd worked in three different industries, but from that 
moment on the programming community distinguished itself for me by being 
comprised of people who give uncommonly high value to sharing knowledge 
freely. I've just been paying it forward ever since.

Challenges like this USB thang are good examples of this dynamic at 
work:  about half a dozen people contributed to that handler, and now we 
all have something that will save us time as we move on to the next one.
