No you haven't. I can't recall you ever responding to any of the points I
have made. You simply state that tonic/mode is best and no other method can
be permitted, ignoring the opinions of quite a few contributors to this list
and, in your own words, the vast majority of users.

WHAAAAAT? Says who? This is the abc USERS list. Presumably, speed limits
are determined by democratic vote among car manufacturers.

I am a user who also happens to be a programmer and felt I could make a
contribution. I'm afraid I'll have to invoke the Groucho principle here.
That isn't a club I want to be a member of.
