   Simon, if the world ran on "what ifs" and such, nothing would ever get done.   
   What if a huge rock was about to break the planet into pieces?  Why then bother   
   about anything?  Yes, there are possibilities, and VSI isn't the most secure   
   choice, but what is?  Hate to break it to you, but you are spreading FUD.   
      
   Perhaps deal with "what is", and if that changes, then just "handle it".
