For those of us who actually have to learn things - great post Ennis!

For those who were born coding in a 64 bit environment and converting ip to hex on the fly I am sure the treatise may seem somehow "beneath you" - but lighten up.

I could give less than a rat's arse about points or "status" - I am simply here to learn. If I ever feel so inclined and informed as to start a thread then so be it but until then AO seems to be a place where folks like Ennis keep things moving.
