Would you care to explain what's so crap about setting 'fields terminated' to some rare string? It prevents from loosing the rest of the line after a comma.

Please consider following:
1. It's not enough to say 'crap'; it should be 'crap because ...' 2. Even if it'd be a crap there is no need to be rude. When you give a crap advice nobody gets angry with you. Pay us in the same coin.
