I've been through this several times.  I know that everything new we
ask for is considered impossible at first, or we're told to just go
away, or that the request is an insult to the dignity of Infra.  But I
also know that with time and patience and careful explanation, it all
becomes possible in the end, and is done quite well.  I understand how
it works.  I've already been sent the "users manual" for Infra.
