Thinking about the same thing, I looked thru the posts by Lobelia, and 
noticed something interesting. Several people had posted code, ranging 
from 'hello world' to a simple working game. Nowhere did Lobelia 
say she had actually *tried to run* or *tried to understand* any of 
this code. Without some kind of feedback, how is anyone going to be 
able to help?

Almost everyone knows at least one thing I don't know. 
But no-one but me knows what I don't know.

I don't expect people to read my mind to find out what that might be.
