Don't let that get you down!  Your version is more DRY (Don't Repeat  
Yourself).  That's important because it frees you of the burden of  
finding all the right spots to change in replicated code come  
maintenance time.  I would rather have that than win a golf match  
(shortest keystrokes) any day.

Nice work.  ;)
