BTW, to the rest of the list, the "hot-fix" for this, when reported, 
took EXACTLY 6 hours, including, probably, Mike sleep hours.

Great!!!!! It even has the same name I used so I don't have to upgrade 
my config files 
So good to see my code in production... I might get to think I even 
remember how to code from when I was young...

How good to see the best (only?) product in its class get better and 
better!!
