This is missing reference, and thus I doubt if that is my suggestion. Looking back at the entire context of this thread, I have made several "ideas" as various options; which was done as to feed the discussion to consider several viewpoints. > You and a few others keep talking in the theoretical This thread is based on an actual problem. > while I've shown an actual problem but you and the others > conveniently ignore ACTUAL problems in favor of your possible > problems.
