Apparently, you took my comments as a personal attack.  I never make
personal attacks, I merely intended to note the difference in style and
a slight tendency to being verbose of the posted update as compared to
the original.  I realized that the original source was poorly designed,
was incomplete, and had several flat-out errors.  The original was not
poorly designed because of the language used, necessarily, and could be
dramatically improved using the same language or a newer variant. 
Perhaps, this was not a point worth making in this particular news
group, but it is just a news group...
