BTW, I share David's pain here - I have spent some time in the past
explaining *my* requirements, and have found that I repeatedly come up
against either blank "I don't understand why you want that" responses,
or suggestions that I change how I work to match what's proposed.

Nobody seems to be attempting to collect requirements here.

Paul.

PS No, I won't state my requirements again. That'll only restart the
flames. Maybe later, if someone starts a genuine, unbiased, attempt to
collect requirements...
