What you say is true! and I am wary of just that. But (here it comes) the amount of input by so many over a period of time should produce a viable solution in a controlled enviromemnt. this seems to be what has transpired,

Now if someone has knowledge that can remove or reveal discrepancies they should step forth and do so in a productive and helpful manner while cautioning those of us that lack the knowledge. in time we can have a strong and versatile situation. we currently have the option of two op systems and no, it is not for all.
