  Call me paranoid, but I would put and explicit no posting here against
a change in code and for documentation purposes, so the next person to
read this knows what you wanted.

  Exactly so. I'm sure that's why the first one didn't work, but I can't
see why. You probably could have forced it with a key, but this is
working and as clear (modulo my last thought on self documenting code).
