So it's 1 that engineers really don't understand? Just add 1 and you get
the correct number of hard things. <wink>

P.S., Dave, your "omitthis" and "andthis" kind of sucks for the rest of us.
And I just invalidated your attempts at
obscurity by replying to your correct email address. I suggest you just
omit that stuff going forward. Unfortunately,
I now I have a crap address in my Gmail contacts I have to hunt down and
remove. Maybe you should just install
a decent spam filter <http://www.spambayes.org/> or switch to Gmail, which
has a functioning spam filter (unlike Yahoo...)
