I must correct something. I in no way meant that reply to sound angry (though re-reading it, I agree it doesn't sound very polite).
It's very early and I'm just getting ready for work so please do not take any of that post as angry or hostile.
I respect you and everyone you who replied.
After, getting some caffeine in me (and waking up more brain cells) I will say that I was disappointed I couldn't get anymore items before release but you are right it was not time wasted.
You and merlight helped me come to the conclusion that the s was not what I thought it was, even though I had dealt with it already, it's more satisfying to fully understand the changes to the item link string.
And I do appreciate the code suggestions. No one here has to help or get involved and I appreciate everyone who did.
The only emotion that should be read into that post was disappointment. First, for not getting more items but to be 100% honest after this thread I figured out a way to get all the items I needed without ANY user interaction and I think walking through it with you helped me realize that. So the biggest disappointment was personal in that I didn't think of that solution first. I'm very critical of my code, I have a PERL mindset. Do more with less and my fix doesn't do that, but the next release will.
If I offended you, I apologize completely.
There is no hostility from me and I thank everyone who replied.
Again, my apologies to you and anyone who might have taken offense to that post.
I even retract my conclusion because I now realize that everyone's insight (and code suggestions) helped me figure out a more elegant/efficient fix.
Thanks,

PS the good news is so far no error reports!
