However that only works if one already knows how things work. Reference documents may have all of the details but it is nice to read tutorials and HOWTOs that guide, explain and tutor people through with overall conclusions. By the very nature of them they make judgments. Reference docs have facts but being able to put the rationale of the decision making into place around those facts is still valuable. You seem to have a good grasp of the problem space and as I said I would have enjoyed reading any of your tutorials on it. If there aren't any written then that is okay too. But in any case. All is okay. Thanks! :-) Bob
