I thought about jumping in on that discussion, I even wrote something up then deleted it. The reality is that I don't have anything more to contribute than what you 2 or Gianluca have already added. I frequently start replies, correct my mistakes then close the browser instead of hitting the post button. Writting is not my top skill.

That's a shame. I would encourage you to contribute, even if you think you having nothing earth-shattering to say.

Forums aren't just about posting irrefutable wisdom - participating in an active discussion is rewarding in and of itself.
