May I ask why? If there is a valid technical explanation I'll stop
searching, but if its because you don't think so or you heard it somewhere,
I'm sorry but this is not the level of credibility I'm looking for, and I'm
thinking this might still be possible. (Smile).

Thanks. That explains a lot!

substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working
on things that matter.
