Hi Mark, You didn't start any flame war here! Not sure what you're alluding to. I think everyone needs to speak their peace and feel free to do it. Everyone will have an opinion and possess different levels of expertise. They should pursue whatever path is the most comfortable to them. We won't be offended.

I've tried to get to the bottom of that one for weeks now!
