As I mentioned in another thread, it is questionable about whether it is
actually a help from EDB. That said, I do understand where you are
coming from and that discussion is for another thread.

Yes and I think the underlying issue that people may think is that this
is certainly not the first time EDB has made this error.

That said, as I mentioned in previous post, this thread should die. It
has long lost any usefulness.
