Ralph,

Do you normally respond in a bottom-up fashion?

Which is what I wanted to highlight by quoting that, above, as another
example.

but that is not what I call "well documented".


I most certainly have not used the phrase "well documented". Why do you put
it in quotation marks in a response to me? All that does is imply (to a
casual reader or one who does not bother to review everything in this
conversational thread) that you are quoting my words - which you are not. As
I have said before the English language is very precise if used correctly.
Problems will occur with its misuse.

Your last sentence above, once the intended logic is extracted from it, is
something I would agree with. Perhaps you will kindly expand on what it is
you intend by the "not so" (NS) in the parenthesised IMNSHO?
