that's certainly not what I thought.  I didn't respond to your initial
post, I was responding to your response.  You asked how to do something,
a solution was given, and then you said "but I don't want to do it that
way".  My answer was then "in the case that you don't want to do it that
way, you can't do it."

If my answer was terse, it was because you seemed to be unnecessarily
dismissive of the first, helpful response - if you already knew an answer
to your own question, you could have mentioned it...

I was indeed mistaken (and my answer was not true, although it wasn't my
intention to give an untrue answer...).  Anyway, that's more than enough
of a thread that's off-topic anyway...
