reading [y] as a null character

[-JKP-]

Thanks Geoffrey, I like the short and clear summaries.

You're welcome, Ruby. Also, please click on the "Add Thank You" button on my posts as well, if you are thankful and if you don't mind. Some folks may keep track of or care about the "Thanks Received" statistics displayed on this site 

I hope the most important criterion for thank you is the quality of the research together with basic courtesy and appreciation.

For the record, I do not keep track of Thank Yous. I think of them like sunshine. You shouldn't be obsessing over when it will come out. Simply appreciate it when it happens.
