I'm sorry if I responded wrongly to your question. With the reverse wording
and extra question marks it looked like sarcasm to me.

If you had written "What would be the practical application for this?"  or
"What would I use this for?" I would have responded differently.

Just
        because
        >you don't see the practical use for something doesn't mean it
doesn't have
        >one. If you don't have anything to add why don't you stop wasting
        >everybody's time and just say nothing?   albert.york@nissan-usa.com



        Actually,  I didn't say there wasn't a practical use for it.   I
believe my
        question was an attempt at ascertaining what that use may be for
those of
        us who are outside your circle of knowledge that may not have seen
it yet.

        I'm sorry if my query,  which was a search for illumination,  was
outside
        your definition of "Sharing and Helping"    Far be it from me to
postulate
        that my view point is all encompassing of everyone else's.

        Sadly in the end,   unlike your post,   this post has proved to be a
waste
        of time for everyone.   However it WAS an excellent opportunity to
        constructively say nothing at all with a trifle more flare.
