i was referring to your strawman arguments, which were not as helpful
as your other, concrete suggestions.  perhaps if you had read the rest
of my post you would have noticed that i was quite specific on why this
approach did not work well in my case.

in both of your posts you said you respected others' opinions.
this is laudable.  putting words in their mouths is rather less so.
