You are both on the same page, then. Keep together and ward off the
people who ask questions or request information. It will give you a
cosier world.

You are quite correct - the procedure is cumbersome. In fact, it is
naff. But you have it as a "solution" and are happy with it and do not

Follow-on questions go in different threads. It keeps things tidy and
