That had not alluded me.  What I never =E2=80=9Cunderstood=E2=80=9D was why=
 the
standard form wasn=E2=80=99t to use a variable in this case.  I mean, the
difference is that you exclude the current option, which is of course
excluded by itself (unless its defined as being able to appear many
times).
