Wayne, your in depth response certainly raises some very interesting points, if you contemplate the larger picture of all this. It's difficult to encumber all the factors involved given the complicated world we now live in with all the modern conveniences and technology. In short, its a real can of worms LOL !
Hopefully I did not exhibit more of an opinion then observation, meaning some of the things I described above.
