Again?
That was my first post on the subject and it was in reply to Darko whom

valid reason).

If using aliases as valid where/group clause substitutes involved a mere 
extra line of parsing code, then your assertion might hold water - but I 
posit that believing that is akin to believing the Earth is flat.
