L.S. I'm not mad, I know your sense of humor, I should have posted an lol. I never give up. I just wait for new ideas. Part of my technique is to ask questions that sometimes seem stupid and already dealt with to provoke a better solution. I understood about the same time you did about the basic roadblock and knew that there must be workarounds to it. Anything plugin wise that can help suspend disbelief IMO is a step forward.
On another tack, can anyone visualize Hal speaking first, starting a conversation and asking relevant questions, putting forth postulations and learning from them or any part thereof?
