That doesn't matter.  Mike described the question he tries to ask and
considered an answer to that question.  This list allows us to discuss
things that interest us and explore ideas related to the original

Then start a new thread under a relevant subject. Netiquette 101.

It *is* a good topic and warrants a subject that attracts attention

And this is why I never want to help you do your work - which seems to
be how you use this community so often.

I could go on but I don't want to distract from what could be an
interesting thread - with everyone's contributions especially how such
information could be used
