Mr. McKinnon,

1.  This method of communication is not highly interactive.
2.  Alexander has a long history of helping people on this list.  He
attempted to convey all his questions and concerns in one post.  Based
on your original post.
3.  As best I can tell he answered your questions.
4.  Can we let it go now?
