You've doubtless by now read my later replies....

But, if we're going to argue about this (insert smileys as needed)...
Your six character password gives 56,800,235,584 possibilities 
whereas my example above is part of a class of passwords that would 
be in stage two of a dictionary attack, which would include for 
example all passwords made up of two words, which going by the 
45,407 words in my words list, gives 2,061,795,649 possibilities,
plus the 454,070,000 words-plus-four-digits, plus the 454,070,000
four-digits-plus-word... so you're still ahead but I'm gaining on you...
