I am always amazed at people's concern about sentences that end with
prepositions. It brings to mind something Churchill apparently once said:

	"This is the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put."

Or, as Pirsig remarks, "Hundreds of itsy-bitsy rules for itsy-bitsy people."
Nonetheless, I see no reason to flame the original poster.  His sentiments are
certainly reasonable and should have offended no one.
