The "why" has been presented here many times, as well as in the FAQ and in other online discussions. I'm not asking anyone to respect the answer simply by fiat, but I *do* expect someone of reasonable intelligence when told "it can't be done" and "we already said why" to at least research what has been already said first. And now we are gravely close to off topic (some would say "past"), so I'll appreciate any further replies in private email, please. -- Randal L.
