Heh. The five-second attention span strikes again.

Since Philippe was replying "in the spirit of good technical debate" and not "in the spirit of summarizing a foregone conclusion", I'd hazard a guess that the answer to your (and my, if truth be told) plaintive request would be "No."

Just remember to take it one sentence at a time, with stretch breaks and eye exercises as appropriate. And remember to stay hydrated. :)
