Hello tim:

I remember answering a concise question from somebody named "Alex".
This question was no theoretical, but practical, and I give a pragmatic
answer.

If a theoretical answer were needed, I would keep silent: in this list
there are plenty of people with deeper knowledge about all this stuff
than mine (quite poor by the way).

I'm sorry If you feel lost due to my little contribution. I know you posted
some question some days ago. I don't remember what was it about,
but surely I didn't know the answer. This is why I didn't reply to it.

Best regards,

Juan R. Migoya
