Weiser" being the same, but you two duked it out recently. So, off hand, I don't recall any conflict between me and you over the years, both on c.o.m.p. and a.o.d. back to at least 2009. And, I recall each of us being helpful and responsive to each others posts. But, you seem to be a tad bit hostile in this thread and seem to be ignoring what I've said. I.e., you seem to be more interested in questioning my logic or reasoning, instead of discussing possible solutions. Now, I'm usually all for discussing reasoning, since most peoples logic is seriously faulty, but I already had a strong inclination as to where I'd like to go before I posted. I'm not saying my reasoning isn't faulty, or won't be discarded later on. I frequently change directions and decisions as my code develops. And, lately, I seem to be a bit more forgetful and making more mistakes. Since I'm aware that there are quite a few different implementation paths I could choose, I get the impression you're wanting more implementation details. If I wanted to go into more implementation detail, I would've. I do appreciate your comments, but they seem to be going in the wrong direction, from my perspective. Sorry. I was just hoping for a generic easy solution. That simply may not exist. Rod Pemberton
