Thanks Florian. I am using the '.../random/uuid'.

I'm not putting a 700ms sleep between each CreateGUID call, to see
what happens. I noticed that once I hit the 1021 limit at normal speed
(no sleep). Every time I click the button quickly (2-3 times per
second) it instantly generates the same GUID. If I wait a second
between clicks, I get a duplicate on the 2nd add to stringlist. Weird,
but then, I got no idea what this will prove! :-)
