Hi,

Sorry I've been slow to answer. It looks good - you're clearly not 
*that* rusty! I could only move one marker at a time, so as soon as I 
moved the second, the first jumped back to the end of the line. It could 
be a bug (I'm on 1.4.0 IIRC) or it could be that I don't understand what 
you are trying to do enough.
Don't worry about flooding the list.

Joe.
