Err, isn't that **exactly** what I said?! (May be the "you guys" wasn't
aimed at me but there were only two responses in that thread, one of
them from me... and you haven't quoted to what it was you were
referring.)

You are, in effect, asking other people to maintain more code for you
when you can easily alter the coding for the response.
