   Yeah, that's why I was liking using that value - its the one place that value   
   can be changed, and it has a Danger! message, so its a big "think about what   
   you are doing moment" before you change it.

   Got it, thank you.

   OK, thanks.   
      
   What I dont like about the "internal code", is it can be changed in two places   
   - in the group and the sub, and there is no "think about what you are doing"   
   warning.   
      
   I know these values shouldnt change often, but somebody might want to change   
   them for cosmetic reasons (among other reasons) and mess "other" things up as   
   a result.   
      
   Appreciate your reply :)
