I do not at all know that code or the difficulties you tried to point 
out, but it looked to me like you were trying to get a grasp on the 
problem to solve it. Now I see Karoly has done what I beleive you wanted.

I hope that both you and Dan can feel ok again and perhaps try to 
understand why you misunderstood each other.

With that I do not want to blame anyone of you. When things get both 
complicated and stressing misunderstanding is a very likely outcome. One 
of the reasons is that communication is on different levels 
simultaneously, both the logical and emotional level.

The challenge is perhaps to see what is happening to oneself and then on 
what level to correct the communication. And maybe also that one may 
switch level when one gets stressed. Some people becomes more logical 
when stressed, other becomes more emotional. And for all of us I believe 
it is a bit harder to switch level when one is stressed.
