People keep inserting links to this page on internet discussion boards etc, and while I&#8217;m flattered that they&#8217;d think of me, it&#8217;s something I have no control over and it makes a huge amount of work for me. I just don&#8217;t have the time to keep on answering questions from comments that run to several pages, or even from short comments such as the one immediately above, the answer to which would require me to make some diagrams and write a whole new post. Quite frankly, as someone who is just starting out on a freelance writing career, if I&#8217;m going to put that amount of work into it, I may as well write an article or even a book and make some money!<br \/>\nSo thank you all for your comments and for this conversation.
