Before you shoot your mouth off, Larry, you might want to 
understand the background of the person you're denigrating.  As 
Jimmy said, Bob is IMHO one of the top TS experts.  He has also 
been writing code since those 64k days, and I suspect he was an 
expert then too.

Yes, he is.  As are 99.99% of all TS users, as Bob already 
pointed out to you.  That's the way TS is designed to work.  
That's the way every person I've ever heard of uses TS, up until 
you came along and informed everyone else they were "wrong."

Hint:  when everybody else (including the experts who have been 
using the software extensively for 8-10 years) is doing it a 
different way than you are, you should not immediately jump to 
the conclusion that everyone else is doing it wrong.  Occam's 
Razor suggests a different explanation.
