Thanks, your snippet is running even as I write this.  I did cut the
sleep down a bit and I'll leave it running over the weekend while
pumping traffic thru the system.

BTW, You are correct in your other responses re: reasons for removing
code.  My customer is very interested in the security aspects so your
web reference was appropriate as well.
