And even writing the answer down doesn't work anymore,
because you keep quoting from articles I didn't know
I had written. :-(
More interesting still, I had a private e-mail
on the VERY same topic (the mis-use of pointers to
do this kind of thing) two days after the newsgroup
article. I've been wondering what strange force is
loose in the Universe this week, when I suddenly
remembered Lord of the Rings, Part II opens Wednesday.
(We already have tickets thanks to a friend of a friend
of my middle son, who works at the theater.)
I'm thinking now that Saruman's army has something to
do with it!
Cheers,
David
