The reason for using an LWO, is so that you don't have to swap in each object
when you want to go to traverse the 'next' or 'prev' just to get access to
that particular object's next/prev variables. The linked list could be a self
contained entity, and it was merely a suggestion that it could be done with a
LWO.
