Did you misunderstand my original question? It would seem that you understood the question and then chose a different path to resolving it other than the route I was aiming for the direction of the answer to cover.
Assuming that you now (several posts onwards) understand the question - can you turing-repeat what you think the question is; back to me?
I don't think I fully understand the question (or rather, the questions - there are always multiple parts to a query, and multiple followup directions based on the path the discussion takes). I don't think it's possible, actually - language is pretty limiting, and asynchronous low-bandwidth typed discussion even more so. To claim full understanding of your mind-state and desires when you asked the question would be ludicrous.
