Because there is nothing to count.

I could see how this would work if you always had a reference to one of the nodes.
The problem with the approach I can see is that you *have* to always know the value of
at least one pointer, and maintaining that will ultimately require more coding than
just having two pointers.

Right. Edwin obscured the datatype issue by leaving off a table, but
the issue is real anyway:

No, he's working on keeping track of the list tail element (and length,
but the tail element is the important part). There was nothing about
double linking.
