Easy now; I think Ken has been particularly provoked by the OP refusing 
to answer questions (in other threads) and generally wanting the fish 
handed to him (almost always) instead of learning to fish for himself.

Even in this specific case, the OP admitted he knew he was using the 
list as a crutch before bothering himself with a simple test case code 
(that we both know he *can* code).

We all know that Ken goes above and beyond most of the time (having lots 
more patience than I) with answering questions and giving hints.

Best of all of course are the edits provided to solve all kinds of 
things that I would have done in processing.

So true.  But most of us would try this out with test code (a trivial 
exercise) that would take less time to code and test then to write the 
email and await the answer.  The point here is that his (Ken's) patience 
has been exhausted with the OP.
