Mike - Thanks for clarifying, and I hope you find it understandable that I came to the conclusion I did.
I have not seen the thread you allude to or the willy nilly advice, but I have seen such before, and I will look for it.
If there is any serendipity to be found in this mess, it is perhaps that the idea of offering structural advice based a brief written description is simply not a good idea, and that thought has seldom been voiced here on the forum.
