This is not a Trivial Pursuit game with a single correct answer or a
homework help desk for lazy students, this is a news group that
traditionally has been used for open ended discussions, in which
participants can learn from by actively taking part in the discussion
or by just following the discussion.
I agree with what you are saying but object to your
use of a quote lifted out of its context to imply that I
need such a tutorial. Without the context, you make
it appear that I attempted to constrain the discussion.
The (now restored) context shows otherwise.
As in engineering in general, there are usually not a single "correct"
answer, but it usually depends on many factors, which were not obvious
or stated in the original posting that stated a thread.
That lesson, too, is worthy but already well taken.
