Scott,
I would write Eric himself, if i were you, or post your message on MacScrpt.
Eric announced a month or so ago that he was discontinuing AS-Users but
would still be reading MacScrpt and not "completely retiring" from
AppleScript matters. I know he wants to maintain his osaxen.

and the way it makes my scripts read more clearly, from left to right.
