Wow, I never knew something like a little + could provoke strong opinions amongst people.

I think I'll continue to use +, because as everyone agrees, it is good practice.

As to the ?, I'll take it under advisement. I generally use @CRLF when using WRITEVALUE to perhaps I should set my ways down one path, but as it requires training of my mind it will take a little time.

I'll look at the other options printing the other elements to screen as I do like compact code and 1 line JOIN does look neat.
