Hello again Your Mother,

It is not my intention to just copy and use and of course security is important...but that is a given. I am just intrigued.

If the code is fundamentally the wrong approach and just should not be done (not withstanding security issues), or the construction and techniques used incorrect and so forth, then by all means I would like to know, but I have to understand what I'm looking at first and then how it hooks together. If it is 'better' to bin it and review a different approach, then that is fair enough.

Sadly perhaps, I am someone who likes a bit of hand-holding and cuddling occasionally.

By the way, where/what is the wheel please, to your hint at the reinvention (as most things are these days) ? :-)

Thank you
