Hi Brad:
   I'm wondering how you've come to the conclusion that anonymous types
are worthless. I for one find not having to 'invent a name' (when I
can get away with it) a good thing. Being not too imaginative
sometimes, "foo", "bar", "x" and "tmp" get used often, and the
potential for naming conflicts comes into play.
   Of course, if I've created an anonymous type, I'm wiling to live
with consequences such as restricted or no access.

regards,
kaiming
