Agreed in every way (and in fact, already suggested!).
I still come back to my original statement: you
are painting yourself into the corner yourself. After you were given
a half-dozen different ways to do what you want and I mention that what
you want is *not* at all what you should *actually* want, you then give
us several paragraphs about how you know that's not what you want, but
you just *have* to do it your way for all of a zillion seemingly logical
steps that define exactly how you *must* do it.
Great. Have fun with that.
Oddly enough, I was reading this Wikipedia article
seconds before your e-mail came in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question
You are needlessly making this more complex than it
needs to be. Take a little bit of time, and think about all of the
dozens of ways you have of solving this. There are easier ways.
I wish you success with this. But I'm out of
this thread....
