proposed fix(es):
[user] after each query, use "count()" function on $list# variable see how many results returned. subtract $limit variable. also, on each query block, check see if $limit greater 0 before executing. since if $limit becomes negative, still execute query , return results. also, want step on unneeded mysql calls.
