It was an informative help post, made especially informative and helpful
by the fact that the relevant material was included at the relevant point
in the code, as opposed to being top-posted.

Then either your reading comprehension skills must not be so good, or
you're so self-righteous about top-posting that you can't be bothered to
look for the material of posters who insert material where it belongs. I
can only wonder what sort of code this causes you to produce. :-)

I'm certain that in future, $Bill won't bother responding to your pleas
for help!

Hmmm... The four lines above all have two > signs in front of them. They
must have been written by $Bill!

Note that these lines form $Bill's signature, and also have two > signs in

And as a service to everybody, note that these lines are appended by the
fine folks at Active State to every post to this group. They tell the
user how to unsubscribe from this fine mailing list, and show that one
does not need to send an unsubscribe message to the entire group if one
wishes to unsubscribe. :-)
