There are times - most of the times - where simply using a standard 
browse lookup is the best solution; no argument about that but, the 
point I was trying to make is that we should always look at a possible 
solution, long term solution, even if it means working a bit harder off 
the gate.

All that being said, none of this should be interpreted as "give up 
using browse lookup!"
