I enjoyed reading your last reply, and have to admit that in your
earlier post, I completely missed the significance of the above code,
which is a rather convincing evidence of how parser works, and that
everything you are saying except a few hints about my ignorance, which
inspired me to object to your initial rather provoking reply to my post,
is true.

Thank you, for this second and much better than first reply.

Cheers, igor
