Right. That's the alternative, -as- I keep bringing up. Now let's compare, and judge if X is worth Y. My solution, 3 lines. Yours, 6. X = 50% profit, -plus- the attention you save. Y = a built-in, unobtrusive variable, a trivial cost. `None' doesn't get in your way, does it? As you can see, X -is- worth Y. Therefore, my proposal is better.
