The reason for doing this is, as i forgot to mention, that I sometimes find it harder to use a model whose workings I don't like than to rewrite something. Had I not first seen how it works on the inside, aswell as taken ideas from it I would probably not be able to make a new version of it as easily as I could bend my way of thought/code to accomodate it. it being a hypothetical module. I totally agree wth you.

On a hi mom type of note, i'd like to thank the insightful replies i've gotten to this node in a more general forum. Thanks!
