Well I guess now it's time for Duncan's usual "stable or not" talk (@Duncan, I think by now, you should have made it into some verse or ballad form... :D for general pleasure ;) )

Otherwise you may just put a lot of effort into something, that may conflict some other longer term design ideas. Cheers, Chris.
