It _MIGHT_ help in some circumstances if it were ubiquitously or universally implemented, however, as you yourself noted, it is not. You were offering advice to someone without investigating the characteristics of his network. That advice could well have negative tradeoffs which you neglected to mention. I felt a duty to point them out. Owen
