        Not made up.  I may well use it.  I do not need auditing   
   capability.   
      
        Because if I did that every time I ran into an issue, I still   
   would not know what is the better *general* solution.  I want to know   
   that.  If a particular application is written less efficiently, that   
   is acceptable to me as long as I have a generally good method.  (I can   
   fine-tune later.)
