Maybe you're catching me on a bad day, but I don't have the patience to
continue this discussion. IMO, you're making a glaringly bad call. If my
presentation was inadequate, that's on me; I can't present any clearer
than I have already done previously on this thread, so someone else is
going to need to carry the ball on this, or maybe you'll re-read the
thread more carefully and change your mind. I'm moving on to other
issues.
