   I see BOTH your points without even having to try your suggested code.   
   I see those two lines serve no purpose beyond that point.  I seem to   
   be stuck on this idea that the IDs are needed to grab up the text I   
   need, but the point is well made that I don't.  I'll remove those   
   lines.   
      
   Thanks,
