<p>[QUOTE="TomCorona, post: 543114, member: 17621"]Thanks for the posts Boss and Spock. Points taken. I think I really do understand the importance/ramifications of this whole subject from even the "purist" view. I just got really bummed when I go to a supposedly somewhat of a specialty thread, where the knowledge is obvious, but I couldn't get a real direct answer from people that obviously know. If the answer came sooner, maybe something like "It has been done and certainly is done routinely, but not recommended..." or, "These are some of the methods that can work, however.."Yes, it can be done successfully, but, .." However I got little of that, and more of "We don't do that. Shame!! How dare you suggest that!" and ' "I've never done that or heard of that", which is obviously inaccurate. I wanted accuracy,... reason I asked. I did read a lot of very good information, and true opinions, which is great, but generally very misleading, for reasons I don't quite understand. I guess I wanted simple answers/facts more than opinions. I wanted opinions too, but, facts..,accurate facts first.. I liken it to a kid asking (of appropriate age) "Where do babies come from?", and then tell them something like, "Well that's not something I approve of and never you mind". Silly.</p><p>I just thought the place to ask for facts, would be to ask people that know, which I thought was here, and eventually, got SOME direct information, but I had to dig and dig elsewhere to confirm most of the facts. If, right off the bat, one "paints" the picture the way they see it over the facts, well, regardless of how much good information you find, you have to question the motives of the folks who supposedly know the facts. Anyway..I will still look to this forum for good information,as I've found much. I guess I just have to further verify it elsewhere first, before I can accept it as fact, rather than assuming it's accurate (which is what I was trying to avoid initially..that is..searching and searching). I guess my bad..Peace[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
