I don't know. I cite sources, and you repeatedly cite opinion and apocryphal information even after being asked to cite sources. I am well-employed in the field, and have created successful and award-winning projects. I have no idea what you do. I know what I know is correct, and I don't need to try to convice a fool that he is wrong. I give up. You can happily enjoy your delusions without further disgreement from me.
