I already understood how you define it. Because you established your own definition on how things have to work, you somehow stop being able to think about alternatives. I rememeber how hard it was to convince you to change the transaction handling. It took about a three-quarter year before you changed your mind. I don't think the changes i proposed and which were done by you after all did any harm to Dabo. So if you really think that you pathing design is good enough, than stay with it. Working around the issues i see seems to be easier than trying to convince you to change your design.
