That's why I asked "why". It's not uncommon that a faulty/suboptimal design leads to questions for a problem that shouldn't be existing in the first place. Most of the time, a little background info can help delivering an answer that can benefit other parties as well, and, obviously, the original poster. So -- the answer to this specific question has been given already. But, it still begs the question: why.
