No Thaddy, I did not miss a point. It is you who missed the point completely. You probably overlooked the comments in my example and you definitely did not read what I said.

I carefully read A's posts, and my reply was specific to his 'one last thing':
Just one last thing, is there a way of making 2 things happen If [CONDITION(S)]?
So WP understood correctly.

FYI, I also did not miss A's previous threads.

But to get to your point my dear Thaddy, two IF's is equally fast or faster than combining two conditions with AND. I tested this numerous times with multiple languages.

But again, it wasn't the purpose of my example to demonstrate this specifically.
