Biju,

That might help for a related problem.  But I am looking for users to do 
a little more of the design work before I start coding a requested 
feature.  That wouldn't really be helped by a poll, as it requires one 
individual to do some careful thinking, not a community concensus.

Thanks for the idea though,

Harold
