Yes and fortunately, that Monty Python memory didn't repeat for our group on 
this list :)

So since the list has been dead I thought I'd give a bit of a story of what 
happened to me over the weekend. It doesn't involve drinking, women or 
anything fun like that...this is a code story...a horror story...be 
afraid...sort of afraid of the Black Knight :) (ok this is getting cheesy)

So there I was coding away and building (actually re-building) a processing 
page for a site. I go to submit some tests, no problems until finally I come 
across an error, something about zero-length field (had some uploading going 
on) and low and behold I was stumped. I couldn't remember why zero-length 
errors occur when your uploading files. So, As I became extremely frustrated 
with not being able to track down the problem, I decided to rebuild the 
page.

Time went by and I just concentrated on making sure I got my upload code 
correct (on both the form and processing pages). So, make a long story 
short, I still had a problem. I re-did the whole shabang again. In fact it 
took me another try to realize it wasn't my upload code AT ALL. Want to see 
the culprit?

  *pause for dramatic effect*

<select name="Unit">
  <option value="">Please Choose</option>
  <option value="2">ICBC</option>
  <option value="1">BC Hydro</option>
</select>

(of course I had other options in there) That just goes to show you, 
sometimes you may think that CF isn't being honest but actually it is.
After I corrected this problem (by giving the Please choose a value) I had 
absolutely no problems and everything works like a charm.

You can turn the lights on now :)
