Amen, Brother Bill!  But I've also seen some coding examples with the
new variable naming structure that would put "War & Peace" to shame.

Always tell the truth, Bill, as it shall set you free.  I'm the

is always a vague and rare option with me. (So is making $$ with my
programming efforts, come to think of it.)
