If you introduce variables for every triviality, the noise becomes 
deafening very quickly. Especially if you combine it with a lacking 
algorithm.

All you need to know about mine:

   <general accu><addr><local accu>

The rest fills itself in. But sure - if you can't write Forth, using 
massive amounts of variables is the way to go. Cheers!
