Hopefully you have seen Dave Kellerman's latest posting in which he
admirably argues for simplicity. I, too, posted a follow-up on this
topic, as did Bill Wagner.

I vote for choice #2 from your list above. Leave the object as previously
defined by David, with the possible exception of renaming the new object
to "prtChannelWart" to call a spade a spade. (Ah, but what a fine, shiny
spade it is... ;-)
