Rock, thank you very much for all the time you have spend in this
thread. I do hope you will take it the right way when I say that you
are essentially acting a bit like a busybody who has nothing to offer
in terms of directly solving my query but you can't resist offering
your own advice about how I might go about it to the point where you
want to keep insisting your method is the right one instead of
respting my right to make my own choice even if I do make the wrong
choice by your definition or the wrong choice in terms of
effectiveness.
Please respect my wish to raise this where I feel it correctly
belongs. And please do not feel that you must insist once again how
you know what I must do and I have no option but to follow your
insitence.
Now, I hope you can read my message the right way and not feel this
is some sort of argument which you either win or lose. If you
prefer, see it instead as respecting my right to learn from my own
mistakes.
