Hi JD,

Well, now, hold on a minute; you can look at this another way. I
think that David has, perhaps, learned your lesson of pragmatism quite
well. At first he was going to loop through each article idea - but
now he's dabbling in an array based approach to producing articles -
parsing out the job in chunks! The approach is efficient,
thoughtful, and uses the appropriate tools at hand! You should be
quite pleased with your student's progress.

Cheers,
For i = me, theRestofMe Do Ben

P.S. Note that it is likely that David will still loop through each
article checking for that certain style, spelling errors, grammatical
crashes and book orders.

PPS Do Ben sounds a tad too much like Du Bious.
