  actually, yes, i get what you're saying and i see why i got so
confused in the beginning.  from my initial reading and from perusing
the scripts, i got the impression that there was something magical
about that "turba_objects" table, and all my further misunderstanding
followed from that.  i didn't realize that it was just the arbitrary
name of the first/default addressbook table created by a turba
install.

  please tell me i at least got *that* part correct. :-)
