Maybe it is because I am planning that I am bringing the issues up before they become actual issues (or I guess you can't be bothered to read the whole thread to see that). Very few problems cannot be cured with a minimum of effort. > Unfortunately, all to many insist and cursing that darn night rather > than lighting a small candle. > You just don't read, do you? If you did you would see that is exactly what I was doing -- attempting to figure out where effort was worth it (and which ones were unfixable but due to external stuff I am still stuck with and have no option but to deal with them anyways). Not taking the lazy way out and saying my hammer sucks and burning it. Burning hammers causes more problems than it solves usually (like the fire spreading to your entire workshop). Besides nails tend to break screwdriver handles when used as hammers. -- Aryeh M. Friedman, Lead Developer, http://www.PetiteCloud.org
