There are sad things in the world, aye... my wont is to try and walk the 
fine line of Getting the Job Done While Not Doing Your Job For You.

Part of Doing One's Job is Knowing What One Wants Done... and I barely 
know what *I* want, let alone anyone else.  One of the things that was 
part of this back-and-forth was along the lines of:

End-user: 'Oh, and I probably want (field1 & field2) or whatever it is 
that I can use to determine (function).'

Me: 'It is difficult to generate computer code which reliably produces a 
'probably or whatever' operation; something a bit more specific might be 
of help here.'
