That is a correct description of the situation. Ted's attitude seems to be "do it right, or don't do it all", which, usually, I am completely for. That being said, I don't actually build my own car, for the sake of it being "right". In this case, given my various time constraints (trying to finish my research/dissertation), it is the case that the prefect is the enemy of the good. So, either I will do it "wrong" (and maybe it won't work that way), or I won't do it at all . . . Neil
