First they decide not to do it. Then everyone is expected to say and imply it is because _I_ am this and that, I did or didn't do this or that, blah blah blah Emanuel Berg. I don't like that since it is a waste of time and enthusiasm for anyone involved thinking the discussion is genuine, it is also unpleasant and prone to conflicts. It is much better to just say "we have decided not to do it" in post one. But for the record I'm 100% confident I could do it and have a great result. > If it was so easy, calc would have been great for you. > And perhaps later, others will deride your implementation. > Take what you can from comments. What about you Christopher, do you also have skills in various fields? -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
