Wow, rude much?

My point remains: No kidding, one function call vs. two is cheaper. And as
someone else noted, if you're performance tuning, the extra DO/END isn't
free, either. I know, "I use the compiler". That's great. Not everyone does;
if you're going to claim to offer tuning tips, be clear and complete. That
goes for your example, too, which *wasn't* clear OR complete, since it
didn't work as written.

It was neither an example nor meant to work! It was just a sketch example -
which is why I wrote spoon-feeding - do you really need everything spelled
out?

My whole point was to illustrate how to save on calls - I didn't know you
needed working examples - and there is NO extra do/end since there's no
code! God!

I didn't know that the Lord subscribed to this list.  I'll have to be more careful.

Adrian, you really are unnecessarily abrasive sometimes -- but only
sometimes -- and you must be aware of it yourself.  I think you just let
your frustration get away with you.  But for what it's worth, ~I~ knew what
you meant by your example, though I had to think about it a while.  (It
wasn't even your example, fully; you just fleshed out someone else's a
little.)

...Oh, and although you and that sabra (Mickey, his name is) brought your
exchange on yourselves, his comments about your abilities are patently
untrue.  But then, you knew that.

It is extremely frustrating to throw out a simple idea, simply put and have
it misunderstood. And I think many people are far too sensitive - it's
possible the media makes sarcasm appear abrasive.
