Ah, I knew there must have been a reason for it. But,
I was feeling grumpy after the first two new things I
tried turned out poorly. I've paid a lot of money for
things I haven't been able to use in the past several
years. And, at that particular moment, the START keyword
felt a little frivolous. Sorry!

Cheers,

David
