Mr Truett,

I was trying to be polite in my first post but here goes...

In your first post you took two different statements from two
different posts and put it out of context.
Furthermore, you asked me to rephrase the out of context statements
not the questsion that you claim you read.
If the question I am asking does not make sense, and you genuinely
want to help, you can ask up follow up questions regarding the
relevant statements without trying to me a smart a** and blowing
things out of proportion.

I am not interested in of your geeky analogies nor your sarcasm, which
quite politely...is dry. Mr. Graham Chapman right back at ya!

So here is the question restated for those who may still be interested
including yourself if you can put your arrogance aside. I will spell
this out ...

The css file contains image references to background images. For each
background image reference in the CSS I would like to bundle them up
JUST like the ImageBundle so that instead of making individual request
to retrieve these images I am invoking one request to the server and
then specifying x, y position in the CSS to clip the image of
interest. I want to know if there is an automated way of doing this.

Is this clear enough for you Mr. Truett?
