Howard,

We are all entitled to our opinions. However, whether or not the advice given in past postings was correct or not bears little on whether the information currently posted is good or not. In this case, the script does as specified. if a small bit of self promotion is a crime then all of us are guilty.

Besides, I don't see you answering the question, so perhaps you should just keep quiet unless you have something constructive to say.
