Yes, the LB would not look like an EF.  It works well for the way I'm using
it, but it's not a EF substitute you'd want to distribute to end users.  It
might work well for something like the compiler error message window in the
RB 5.0 alphas where there isn't a huge difference in the amount of text
which can appear in each row;  but if you might have 20 chars in one row and
1K in another, it'd look goofy.
