I may have, but if I did, I forgot it somewhere along the way.  
(Something about forgetting more than some users ever know... =8^0
Or it came from someone else.

Either way, that's definitely the respectable geek's way to learn 
something, and we're still using his work after he has moved on, so he 
must of done a good job. =:^)

I don't claim to be a dev and don't read code well, but sometimes it's 
good enough to do a not too much coding patch or fix up a patch that's 
not applying.  And I can certainly appreciate good comments and 
organization, which pan certainly has. =:^)

LOL!  Been there!

With luck your subconscious will have it all sorted when you wake up, and 
it'll be a comparative walk in the park. =:^)
