I liken this forum to a classroom.  Remember WAY back to the days where you and 1500 others were in a huge auditorium for physics170, and 40% of the class was always afraid to raise thier hand and ask a question....for fear that some might snicker at the simplistic nature of the question.....you read the text, you think you understand it....but still you wonder...do I really understand it?
   
  So you ask..and some snicker....and a bunch say....OH...thats how it really works...glad someone asked....I didnt dare.  I'm never afraid to ask for help.  I've not
  used fast returns before, didn't really understand what made them....fast.  Now I do.
   
  OK, wer're done.  Thank you MIKE HORD (and the other silent 1500 ) for replying and explaing it as well as you did.  Myself, and others no doubt, appreciate it.  Thanks Olin for entertaining us, and taking your time to reply in the manner you did.  I typically choose not to rebute, but I'm having a bad day.  I must be....to even taken a minute...and changed to OT so those who care not to see anything but PIC stuff don't have to see his.  Nice huh?

No, he knew that, but he thought that your inevitable response would 
serve to mobilize him better ;-)
