I have seen the following sort of remarks a couple of
times this past week, yet I haven't seen them corrected.
Nick Holland is such an excellent writer that, as often
as not, you don't need to look at the sample code to
follow his advice. That's not relevant in this case,
except insofar as I cannot understand why more people
don't spend more time with the FAQ (especially those who
offer advice).
