Thanks for your feedback. I am not interested in arguments. I don't want to
argue. I only want the software to work correctly. I don't care why. If it does
not work correctly, only then will I go looking for some way to make it work
correctly. The technical reasons don't matter to me. I speculate freely as to
the real causes, in order to get new ideas how to fix problems, but it may of
course be incorrect terminology & theories.
