And it was well in your rights to ignore me, and you didn't.  Which I thank you
for.

Though I should point out that it's pretty hard to search a document when the
keywords are unknown...I would never have thought "what is everything" would have
been in it, given the low probability that someone would actually want to do it.

Believe me, I know the value of research.  I also know the value of answers from
humans, which often come with "by the way" notes.  Failing at the former, I chose
the latter, and it happened to pan out pretty well in this instance.
