>>As I've observed before, this reply is typical of the attitude of certain people in UT. They feel that they are the experts & should not be criticised in any form. Though they feel free to criticise any slight fault of anybody elses.

There are apocryphal tales of my running something under the debugger once, but these are perverse accounts of dark rituals, from long ago in the fabled land of Ohio. It's rumored that I made a typo, but any documentary evidence of such is restricted to individuals capable of finding the originals.

Hey, you do understand the concept of humour. There was no insult intended behind the word 'deliberate'. Some people are so sensitive around here.
'Lack of thought' I stand by. I may not have a better solution to the problem, but did feel it necessary to point out the immediate danger of your solution - the side-effect of possibly deleting existing files needed highlighting. Check my reply to George Tasker, who has also risen to your defence, it was only a short while ago he lectured me on the need to highlight possible dangers in posted solutions.
