So I don't see how thisobservation "defends" our sweetly beloved genius in anyway. But pursuing this would no doubt lead us along thesame old garden path once again -- is it "rude" to pointout how ridiculous somebody is being by his advocacy of acertain idea, for example? Or is it rude to post ridiculousideas in the first place?-)Bah, no matter -- I do NOT consider daydreaming aboutbeing able to have an unnamed function/codeblock in anyway ridiculous, just maybe a misplaced emphasis in myopinion. A completely different level of disagreement:-).Alex
