Much, much better 🙂

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.

________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Heh... Simple, effective, and fast... no chance of a data "drop out" or being intercepted by a sniffer or a hacker. Thanks for the feedback. 🙂
