If we got diverted by new, yet irrelevant information, than please, why 
not simply guide us back to the issue at hand. I know people that have 
even more impressive numbers in their resumé, yet still happen to make 
architctural or other mistakes. That's just human. As it is also human 
that we all try to contribute and learn from these discussions.

You've been on this list for quite some time, if I recall correctly, so 
I'm sure you know better than this. Don't blame this on yourself. Asking 
clear questions is equally hard as giving clear answers and it's easy to 
become misguided. We're all trying to help. Misunderstandings are just 
as human as anything else. I've had my own share of misunderstood 
questions, and answers. It just happens and all we can do is trying to 
guide the discussion back on track.
I don't know the track, to be honest, I lost it along the lines. If your 
question is not answered, than by all means, let's try to 
(re-)understand your question.
Kind regards,
Abel Braaksma
