Errr... sure, but I may be ignorant, but I'm not obtuse. Not as far as I know, anyway. What I am is sleep-deprived. (It takes a special kind of nervous wreck to be kept awake by a problem like this, that has never happened in many years of my using md/raid. I think I'll be kept awake by the possibility of an asteroid strike or a second Carrington Event tonight.) > Can we all tone it down, please ... Sure!
