You lasted 30 seconds, Eric? :-)

The first thing I do with a NG problem that involves code is very 
quickly scan it for readability, w/o even trying to understand the code 
proper. So whitespace, indentation, general naming etc. In this case I 
gave up in less than 10 seconds and read follow-ups to see if anyone 
actually tried to help. :-)
