So let me put this in together (for my own benefit).
When you pass an object variable by value, you get a pointer to the memory space that the variable points. So mucking with it changes things in that memory space.
When you pass an object variable by reference, you get a pointer to the memory space that the variable resides in. So mucking with that changes the very nature of the variable.
Thanks to all for clearing that up.
