Actually, Andrew, I think you got a lot of messages from people
disputing your definition of "technical." I wish you had reposted your
message using the definition you gave me privately -- you would have
received more useful responses and less anger. It seems you were more
interested in yanking a few chains than receiving useful responses. ;-)
