I must say I agree and it's what I've done in the exact same situation.

Personally I hate regexps as being essentially write-only programming.
I'm not interested in wracking my brains to create something "cooler"

Someone had a .sig about Dijkstra (sp?) saying KISS and IMO this is an
example of where it applies.
