You are like the guy who went hunting in his jon boat. When he motored under a tree, a snake dropped into the boat. Out of all the possible solutions to the problem, like whacking the snake with a paddle or stepping on it, he picked up his shotgun and shot the snake. While it worked, it compromised the integrity of the boat and he went for an unplanned swim. LOL Tim takes the worst case, decides that it would take the maximum possible effort, then decides that cost is too high and leaves it at that. Which isn't a fair assessment. It is a typical Austrian School approach of coming to a problem having decided what the solution is and picking the data to support the conclusion. Not really. What Tim does is pinning down the other extreme as opposed to doing nothing. A progressive approach to the real problem would next be to interpolate several possible solution coordinates in between, try your best to quantify them and run a CB analysis on the whole thing. So far Tim has even approached that by commenting on your "gradual approach" which has to "get started somewhere". Looks gloomy indeed. No bang at all for a hell of a lot of bucks. Much as you and Harris do. Thanks. Your tolerance level for other opinions is remarkable. Next you are going to define to me what an "opinion" is and when and why ours don't deserve that name. All according to some higher powers - and CJ. Taro
