Hmm. That describes me, too. Thought we had more in common. As I said, the best overall approach idea so far came from you (if not the technicals for “best” perf required). Oh, well.

My apologies for not being as far along or on the same adventure as you, or not coming from similar areas of IT, or that my questions do not conform to your way of thinking (or whatever has offended your sensibilities). This is a discussion, which has been interesting and informative until now. What is now clear is that you are not patient enough to assist a fellow Media Enthusiast noob. Someone who is would have simply linked or pointed out where a given question is already answered. If we are of similar age, I would have expected a similar level of maturity.
