Hi you guys,

just wanted to say how great such kind of explicit explanation  and
presentation of Mike's code and your application of it is for us who 
want to learn. At least I for myself am very appreciative and grateful for
it.  I don't know, if I can speak for others and if not, then I resort to
the fact that each single vote counts, right ? So, that's mine. Perfect.
