I understand the concept of skipping the non-primary names. BUT I was
working with a filtered list which showed ONLY primary names for Females &
Unknowns. It was still skipping over every other person. There was no
randomness (going to the next primary name) about it . . . it was merely
skipping every other name on a picklist that was showing only primary names.
