Urgh. Yeah, I see your point.

Yeah. In fact, about half an hour ago I figured that I was spending more
time figuring out how to extract in the right order -- or in a limited
way -- than I would just doing it right, so I started running through the
code looking for any $pw and friends to change :-)
So thanks for the prod; I'm sure it's for the best.
