<heh-heh> No need to duck, I was laughing about that already. The
only downside is if I decide screw you guys, I'm going home.

The larger point is that it really is a two-way street. You raised
an issue with the doc and it got fixed. Coincidence? I don't think
so. :)

Doc whiners who never ask the maintainers anything remind me of this
story:


Hey, I didn't whine about the doc; I don't care one way or the other.
I just explaind why it was thta I never bothered to look deeply into
Cells, in response to your claim that it was because I was unable to
get it running.

Stop bobbing and weaving. :) Your response was as you say, explaining that you could not find anything explaining what it was and why you should bother. That explanation is what I am addressing. And I cannot believe you did not explain how what I posted did not address both what Cells is and why you should bother.

I'm glad to see that you're still working on it and on
the examples and so forth so if I even feel inclined to check it...


<sigh> Wait, I have an idea....
