I thought about ways to beat the system over the years. After putting the pencil to the projects initial cost and all that goes with it, the annual maintenance can be a real headache. I figured it wasn't worth it. Besides, I wasn't sure that all that initial effort would work. No idea as to how much tweaking would be necessary and the practicality of that.
