My addition to the junk:
You said it, Pat.
I see nothing wrong with commenting at some length on someone's solution to a problem; also offerring further suggestions on the same. Also, comments in general. After all, this list has its social aspects and doesn't seem to be a strick technical forum. As we pat ourselves on the back about how great our list is. So have some more pats; it's good.
