Comment:

 This issue affects other people who couldn't work out how to fix it. As
 stated above, if you read an EOF from a file handler, you should not then
 be able to keep reading data from the file unless you manually perform a
 rewind. Having it rewind automatically is a bug.
 For example, I wish to do something similar to making the first post
 "fancy" except I want to make the last post fancy.
 Keeping to "conventions", calling a function that "gets" information
 should not modify any information. Another modifying function should do
 that.
