Not sure if your suggesting that this corrects Nick but Just to clear it up
.....

"-print Always true;" means that it is evaluated as true always and so has
no impact on the expression you form on the find commmand line (other then
to print the path) - it DOES NOT mean that it is always the default option.
(Such is my understanding) 

Sorry if this was not you intention or suggestion - i just wanted to clear
it up. 
I'd probably be better off if I know what "Blech" means :)

P.S. One of the cool options on find is the -mtime [RTFM :) ].
Find is really up there with xargs on the usefulness scale.  :)
