Sorry, maybe I should have changed the subject. I was replying to 
Andre, and my last comment was addressed to him, not to you.

What I was trying to say is that it is better to educate someone on 
how the API works, than to not use the technically best solution 
because someone may not understand. In the first case you keep the 
flexible API _and_ give the previously confused programmer a new 
skill, in the second case you lose flexibility, and the previously 
confused programmer will remain confused and run into the same 
problem again whenever he encounters a similar construct again in 
the future.

So, if you're a confused programmer (like Andre, and unlike Ken), 
perhaps a good thing would be to try and figure it out, and take 
some notes for others struggling with the same problem while you're 
at it. And of course, asking questions is a great way to learn, and 
that's what this forum is for.

It just seems to be the best solution to me, for all parties 
involved, and that's why I posted it. Of course I may well be 
wrong, and if so, I'd love to learn why.
