Hi,

Don't be discouraged by trying something new.  There are 1050+ people on 
this list and they all have 5 opinions about everything ;-)))  If something 
has never been done before, you will not get an "answer", but just others 
ideas, thoughts, opinions, speculations,....  as to what they "think" may 
happen.

Once something is "actually done", all the incorrect opinions will 
disappear instantly.

It is wonderful that you are taking this beyond just "talk" and actually 
trying it out to discover the truths behind it all.  You will find that 
"your's" will be the only opinions that count once you actually do it ;-)))

Sounds like you have well researched everything, and now I wait to hear 
what you actually find happens!!

Cheers,

         Terry
