sigh...i knew i should not have posted this question to the list
today...i've been waiting for this post....
OP: "i have a question about X."
R1: "X sucks, use Y"
R2: "this is how i do it with Y"

let alone i have my own reasons for using X, or that I'm experimenting
with X versus Y or what ever...

honestly, i was using ORDB as another layer of the onion...not that it
matters though....
