Good that means I'm getting it. I thought that would be the more correct of the two.

Yes it does.

Specifically that one of the things C# brings to the table is:

"The C++ ability to overload operators for a custom type, without the complexity (i.e., making sure to "return *this to allow chaining" is not your problem)"

Thanks for all your help.
