It's a bit of a catch 22 either way, I had thought along similar lines but I think there would be a bit of a struggle to get sufficient numbers to make it work and remain working beyond initial set up However I still believe that there should be a structure of sorts, but the pros & cons for me presently have me a bit muffed at it all and so while I'm thinking like this I'll most likely be a fence sitter (no helpful I know!) But lets also face it, the US wouldn't have it any other way now would they!
