I've tried my best to explain this concisely and with no room for 
mis-interpretation but I have seemed to fail and I can't see why. I don't
think anyone else managed to mis-read me as radically as this, so I've 
taken this off list to try and clear up with Wolfgang whatever the 
mixup seems to be.  Apologies to all....
