I'm sorry, that caught me at the wrong time, and I was rather more harsh
than I should have been.  I should not have responded that way.

For future reference, though, when somebody has gone out of their way to
accomplish a task in a specific way, there usually *is* a reason for it.
If you can't find that reason, the best thing to do is usually to ask.

Thanks,
