No, that's some mutation by the original poster.  We never suggest
that, or even suggest it might work. I don't know why people end up
doing that occasionally... it baffles me.  I suppose it's like an
experienced carpenter watching an apprentice beat a nail in with a
screwdriver.  "I would have never tried that, actually, and it looks
durn inefficient.  Maybe you should stop doing that."
