Both of you have made your points eloquently and con brio. You are now circling around the same carcass having already picked the bones clean. I cannot see any benefit or enlightenment in putting the same words in a different order in each subsequent post. Each of you have views strongly and, it would appear, unshakably held and there is zero chance of one changing the mind of the other.
Two-handed zero sum debates are not productive, or particularly pretty or entertaining to watch. As a moderator one of my responsibilities is to ensure that a difference of opinion stays this side of civil, by pointing these things out before offense is given or taken. Personally I would rather act to take the pan off the heat than clean up the mess after it has boiled over. My original intercession was ignored and subsequent posts continuing the duologue have not added anything to the sum total of human knowledge. Worst of all, none of this seems in any way to address or in any way set out to assist the OP, who asked a simple question.
I post this for clarity. It is not up for debate. I'm leaving this thread open - perhaps others have an insight that will help the OP. I don't, however, expect to read any further stirring of the same pots.
Thank you kindly. You will now be returned to your normal programming.
