Hence my classification as a propensity to rewrite as a Trap.

I completely overlooked the flaw in my logic when faced with the 30+ lines of code do handle a simple issue....

It is too late for me to pop off the correct answer, and if I spend 30 more seconds here my wife may kill me, but the point I so poorly was trying to make is that there is often a simple elegant answer, and sometimes there is not. A skill we all need is to recognize our current situation.

BTW - thanks for pointing out my flawed formula. Lord only knows how long that might have gone unchecked :)
