i have read every message in this thread.  why accuse me
of something you can't possibly know?

i thought you were changing your position.  i guess that was
wrong.  but can you blame me?  this thread goes around in
circles with no possibility of any code being written or results.
i was trying to gently suggest that this thread be
suspended until somebody does something.
