    I do know that:) I made that mistake long time ago.  What I thought was, that constantly 
setting RandSeed is somewhat like constantly calling Randomize. In the example code randseed 
was dependant of randomize output - which might or might not be as awful as randomize. And 
the graphical output was just really good illustration, why it was bad.
