Can you clarify a bit exactly what you want? I know it may seem pretty
clear, but before I post my (pretty ridiculous-looking) reply, I'd like
to verify that I'm not way out in left field.

I'm interested in that 1,300 figure of yours - if I'm correct in my
thinking of what you want, it's closer to a quarter-quintillion... so to
prevent me from wasting time and bandwidth with a possibly "what the
hell is that" answer, please clarify.
