Indeed, though in my defence I would like to point out that several 
search spaces were exhausted in the production of that composition.  
It's just that I had to keep extending the space until I could get all 
45 methods in.  There can be a fine dividing line between a search that 
lasts a few seconds and one that would last for years.  I think the band 
would agree that a composition in the hand is worth more than 2 zillion 
in the virtual bush. ;-)  Incidentally, what would be the other six 
deadly sins?
