Again, I try to limit my input to discussions that may result in an answer
not previously obtainable. In most cases, the technical discussions on this
list are of this ilk. In this particular case, there is a simple, easy
solution, and there's ample documentation on how it's done. It got entirely
ignored until I pointed it out more bluntly.
This start-all-over-and-hack-something mentality is as silly as shutting off
a light switch so you can stumble around in the dark on purpose.
I see no merit in reinventing the wheel in this
case. If you're
really that cheap, find one on ebay for less. This whole debate is
laughable.
It's like keeping an old van around for hauling stuff when
you need to. Doesn't mean you're going to blow thousands
overhauling the thing. This is the type of hobby where the
majority of us don't put a lot of money into, nor can justify
it (though I've splurged on occasions). If you're too
ignorant to engage or at least tolerate a technical
discussion then you shouldn't be on the list. Frankly it's
laughable to call it that. Shove off already.
