You are, of course, correct.  I tend to work in smaller steps to a 
solution rather than larger ones.  I think we'd both arrive at the 
same door although the particular steps to get there might differ; 
i.e. we would still have had to deal with the "duplicate" sooner or 
later.

Carry on, you do good work too!
