Charlie, you may have saved my sanity (or whatever was left of it). Thank 
you.

I never think to look at tech notes until someone mentions them here. Is 
there one about this? Seems like a good candidate--at least for those 
wise enough to actually read them.

Just when I had really taken to heart the message, "The problem is not in 
FB, it's somewhere in your code," I learn that might not always be the 
case. A little disconcerting, but I feel better nonetheless.
