John,

I'm sorry if I wrote in a way that offended you. I didn't mean to. English  
is not my best language, or my second best language, but my third language.  
Anyone can imagine participating in such a discussion in their third best  
language.

Sometimes I write too fast and I miss an important point. For example, now I  
see that in my messages I was documenting the usage of the new core  
functions. As a very experienced programmer, you certainly know all this  
just by reading the functions, and you don't have to use them if you don't  
want to. There are different ways to perform search and replace in a text  
string - use those that work when you test them and that suit you best.

Sorry again,
Petko
