Hmm.  That's pretty new I think.  It's certainly new to me, and wasn't 
there a year or whatever ago, when the topic came up previously.  Maybe 
Charles got tired of seeing the question.  Of course, when it was added, 
people stopped asking, and it hadn't been there before so I had no reason 
to think it was and never looked, so I never saw it until now.

Thanks for pointing that out! =8^)
