No, Michael, that was a simple technical question. ...

The problem is, that when you go to people more experienced than you are to ask a "simple technical question" and people more experienced than you are tell you that the very specific thing you're attempting is virtually never a sensible tactic and then ask what your goal is so they can help you develop a tactic that does make sense, telling those people more experienced than you are that they don't know what they're talking about is not a particularly constructive course. Don't get wedded to tactics. It's the target that's important.

Honest and for true: Sometimes the correct answer to "How do I do this?" is "You don't."
