Sorry, you must think I am mad ;/ You asked "is this incorrect?" and I 
said "no" - but explained the opposite. Logically I would have had to 
say: yes, it is incorrect. Didn't want to confuse anybody, just did read 
too fast.

P.S. Maybe this is a good example to show you the difference and the 
advantage by not top-posting: my correction is inline and you can easily 
see what I like to comment on - even in a month when you find the mail 
in a list archive, you will not have to follow a whole thread to quickly 
get it.
This demonstration wasn't intended :)
