    Noted, and passed to the publishing team.

    1. I'm not sure how easy the first item is to fix, but we'll see. Definitely an issue.

    2. Again, not sure, and not sure how many people do this. I know I drop comments on separate lines, but we'll note it.

    3. agree. Gray is hard on these old eyes as well

    4. Hadn't noticed, but I'll check

    5. No idea here, but something to look at. Note that in Firefox 4, this isn't an issue.

    6. Needs to be fixed for sure.

    Thanks, Steve. On #5 for me (and maybe half the rest of the world), Firefox just isn't an option.

    On #2, it probably only affects me because 80% of the people posting don't even use comments and the 20% that do almost never (there are a couple of exceptions) format their code the way I do. Since I'm aware of it and can work around it simply by lodging a space in right after the parenthesis, I'd rather see folks put their effort into #5 and #6.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
