(Yes, I'll sign my name to this comment ... "downvote away.")

Roger, wilco. The main reason I did is the same reason I sometimes downvote one of the best hackers here and would have downvoted an anonymonk as well: you repeated advice from days ago and didn’t acknowledge you were repeating it; from 1nickt, swl, and daxim at least. They all managed to give the rather sane guidance without jamming their résumés into the pie. Which, incidentally, in my view, is the only reason you signed-in. You thought you could dash off a promotional plug by repeating the advice of better competent hackers and signing your name to it.†
