Acting without any plan is worse than acting with an estimation (that bases on the best information available). Imaging navigation within permanent fog. I think it is better to go towards the most probable direction, instead of doing nothing because you dont know. Of course this again is dependent on external factors like dangerous ground ... thus no answer fits every case. In the end it's a philosophical question anyway. ;-) > Of course, you surely do not need such serious considerations for your precise > issue correct ;-) meillo
