Okay, this is what I mean when I say I'm not a programmer. It reminds me of
that Far Side cartoon where the dog only hears his name when the guy is
talking to him. Here's a translation of the above question as heard by a
designer:

If I have two points blah blah where blah blah blah how do I find the blah
blah created by the blah? What would be easier, to get blah blah blah or
find blah blah blah.

I'm glad it's Friday!
