Ohhhh.... Well, that's exactly what Jeff M. said, and then I said "sounds
good," but then Michael G. said "sounds bad" and offered the below. But
then maybe Michael G. actually was agreeing? That's why I'm confused. He
said he disagreed, but then offered a proposal that sounded the same (and
the same as what you describe). So maybe it's all just a bunch of
agreeing then?
