So your not out of fad. My ignorance is showing. I'm not a professional 
programmer
and have done little except for my own amusement. That being so much of 
your
terminology is unfamiliar to me. I think that this thread is the only 
time I have
actually talked to anyone specifically about programming theory -- 
although I did
a lot of reading a number of years ago.

You encourage me anyway.
