I'm surprised (and yes, I have checked).

A lot of people reckon posting the same question to different lists is 
bad form. That aside, my comment was not directed at you; the people 
reading this list now are not the only ones who benefit from its 
contents, I often turn up answers on lists by using Google. Generally 
anyone following Google to an archive of this list might not recognise 
that the question's answered on another list, thinking that both 
archives are the same.
