That makes sense Bryan and I appreciate your clarification on an alternate 
meaning to that statement.  One I will have to keep in mind.  

Perhaps I have been taking such statements to mean something other than what 
the statements were intended to mean.  I'll have to watch that.  

It's just that so often the only thing that is said is "Well...it works for 
me" and said in a way that makes it seem more like "Well...it works for me so 
I don't see what the problem is.  Perhaps you need to RTFM more!" 

Thanks for pointing out that the phrase "It works for me" does not always 
convey the intended meaning very clearly.  I undoubtedly have taken it to 
mean the worst more than once.
