It was a pretty frustrating 3 months. Maybe I'm just old-school, but compared to what I've been doing for 22 years, this is not rocket science. I am admittedly anal; I could not accept that something had been done that couldn't be easily undone; there had to be something fundamental that I didn't yet understand. There are two ways to solve a computer problem:
1. Guess and jerry-rig a workaround with the digital equivalent of scotch tape and baling wire, or
2. Figure out the real cause of the problem and fix it right.
My training is that option 2 is the responsible choice. My cardinal rule is "don't guess, because there are too many possible wrong answers".
A lot of people argued it wasn't worth the effort, but look how much I learned .... which should better equip me to solve the next problem. There is no substitute in this business for knowledge.
Ok, I'll get off my soap box now. Thanks for your patience.
