Matt, before you alienate everyone that has tried
to show you patience, understanding, and respect
for your ignorance, (which is not a bad thing,
stupidity is) I would suggest that you not post
again until you look at the above two posts.

Ad was trying to help you, and you were rude in
your reply to him.

How were you rude? You didn't respect his intelligence
by sitting down and reading his post until you
*understood* that post.  Had you *understood* his
post, you would have seen that his solution to
the 'right()' function accomplished what you desired
while simultaneously being far more elegant, much faster,
more concise, easier to read and easier to maintain.

Instead, you promptly replied in such a manner as
to swiftly place your foot betwixt your palate and
your chin.

Personally, I think you owe Ad an apology,
and I think you need to contemplatively cogitate
concurrent with composition.

Lurk  before you leap,  understand before you utter;
glean before you grate, revere     before you repulse.
