Actually I like this style :) don't mistake my "shooting down in flames" to be aggressive dislike. I have taken your specific advice on board, I was asking in a more general context. So I'm actually quite happy this worked out this way gives me a chance to learn<br>

</div>About the same, but be prepared for not everyone to be as enthusiastic<br>
about your idea as you are, and be open to the possibility that some<br>
of the objections are valid...<br>
<br>
(BTW, I thought I was offering you some insight into why ideas might<br>
not be as straightforward as the inventor thought. I apologise if it<br>
came across to you as me "shooting down in flames" your idea...)<br>
