Hi Paul,

Thanks for the link.

It was funny, and for sure too many cooks spoil the broth.

I don't think that applies here, since i'm just trying to tweak 
the initialization order, and i'm the only programmer involved.

Of course, i guess all sinners try to justify their wrongdoing 
--- hope i'm not doing that here!!

Thanks for your reply.
