My pleasure.  I'm a card carrying member of the "Monkey see, monkey do" school of programming and a simple example can be worth pages of explanation. Back in the days when I was getting to grips with OODML I found little working examples, especially those from Marko Mihorko (who I think lived in Romania), invaluable.  I've tried to carry on Marko's good work where I can.
