datagrid scrolling question

[J. Landman Gay]

I was thinking the same thing. I think the critical distinction is that 
datagrids are primarily display mechanisms, not really intended to be read 
directly. It's much easier to parse the original input data than to try to 
traverse the grid itself, which uses some tricks to appear as a continuous 
single control.
