Thanks again, and have a great next couple of days.

I'll look forward to your reply, and I appreciate it. But this isn't a question of data; it's one of logic. An analogy:
I play the pedal solo at the beginning of Bach's Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C (BWV 564) a certain way, using mostly toes and almost no heels. If someone comes along and says, "Hey, you can play that much more easily if you use heels in these several places!" I have a choice in how I respond: I can dismiss that person's ideas out of hand, or I can try them out. If I dismiss them, I will never know if they are indeed better than what I've been doing; but if I try them, I might discover they are better
or I might discover they are not and I'm satisfied with the way I was doing things previously. Either way, I'll have learned something.
The question of logic is this: Is it better to engage in the first type of response, or the second? Why?
