As I said, I WAS kidding - but I was a little embarassed by the level
of my mistake.  The fact that the error message said that there was a
a problem with 'type' (which is exactly what the problem was, of
course) didn't help.  Mostly, I just felt foolish that I had spent a
few hours on it, and you replied (within a couple minutes of my
e-mail, as I recall...) with the precise solution to the problem.

Sarcasm doesn't come through very well in the typed word, but I was
using your instant and 100% accurate reply to illustrate how helpful
this mailing list is.  And I, for 1, really appreciate it...
