I feel I owe you an apology Kevin! It really was stupid of me to
attempt to answer your question by considering the different possibilites.
I should have realized right away that you are an expert. After all,
novices and inexperienced programmers hardly ever post anything in
comp.lang.c, and even if they did, I should have been able to recognize
your expertise by clairvoyantly reading your aura. I promise it will
never happen again. Please forgive me.
