>Sorry, guys. I don't want to seem lazy, or suffering from "postitis"; I guess I've just got stuck in a firefighting rut today. I've got urgent stuff to develop, with supervisor querying its tardiness, but users hitting me with bugs from all sides. I've also gone snow-blind with studying, researching and trying this automation

No problem. I usually have such days when I'm working from home and get zillions of e-mails with various problems all at once...
