This sounds like one of those things that's very credible on paper but is something for which I'd like to see the working prototype before pulling up stakes and moving to. What I'm proposing is only an incremental refinement, and the efficacy of it is easy to prove. What you're proposing is another one of those blanket statements of change with no working parts to examine or discuss. Bleah. Jordan
