Indeed. And it'd be good if Kevin could consider that this forum is for technical discussion - not democracy but meritocracy, best-solution-cracy and perhaps "fix-patch-ocracy". And that people that have written good code in the past, posted amazing patches, and wondrous test cases can sometimes get a bit more opinionated. But newcomers needs to earn a bit of respect before lecturing people.

Kevin, other people have already started posting nice nuggets of test cases. Where are *your* test cases? That would be a nice way to "have the last word" on this ;-)

cheers,
