Isn't that _also_ what I suggested with one modification - which
was based on your suggestion with a _bit_ _more_ _thought_?  Oddly
that suggestion which you appear to have completely ignored - but
clearly you did get the mail because you quoted a few lines from it
in one of your subsequent replies - was based on your very idea.
The one which you said "what was the point of your mail".

Maybe the point is to discuss issues.  You know, it's exceedingly
difficult to discuss things if the other side doesn't read messages
they're sent.  Ergo, I don't think there's any point discussing this
any further; you've crystal clearly already stopped listening.

Maybe you should go back to that one which you gave such a flippant
reply to and re-read it, and actually productively comment on my
additional suggestion to yours?
