Good that you can avoid them. I agree about performance reasons, why allocate

I'm aware of them, I was wondering if you're using something exotic and

One benefit is that you have fewer users to ask to logoff (or is that 
'rockoff'? ;-D ) because you want to do something disruptive on a dataset.

Thomas, many thanks for kindly answering my questions, I really appreciate it
