Did I really?  Hmm...

As far as using $q for the query, that's probably not the best name.  Better
than $somecrap, though (which I've also been known to use on the list)  =)

You're right to call me on it, but sometimes I try to post a quick answer to
shed light on the problem at hand, and not actually send what I'd consider
deployment-ready code.

Whether this is a good thing or not remains to be debated, but I feel that
if you get a code snippet that more or less does what you want, but you
still have to modify it a little bit before publishing it, then you'll
understand it much better.

Shrug,
