Well, now you're out of line.

What I want is to end random behavior. If avoiding changes to the normal
template is the key to that, I want to do that. But if there is a down side,
perhaps I should know it.

Maybe there are reasons when one WANTS to change the thing.

Really obnoxious smug answer, Matt. You should take it back and resolve not
to make any more like it to me or others.

Just finished posting effusive thanks for all the help. Wish I had read this
first.

Pedantic tripe.

Phooey.
