Please don't post the same thread in 2 different forums. It causes the discussion to become disjointed. I'm locking this thread for now, and will delete it later. For those interested, the same thread is in the Hard forum, and replies may be posted there.
 
(I left that one, since the Hard forum receives considerably more attention than this one!)
