I have done 2 replys to this - one is in drafts and may mercifully stay 
there .
THIS one is more blunt because the situation has gotten simply beyond 
niceties .
MY post was placed above the silly ones to redirect to something I 
failed at making my points about .
Some of us were interested in the filesystem on it's merits or lack of 
IF we could have gotten that far .
Others have quite obviously passed judgment by their directing the 
thread over the edge .
SO we disagree on verbiage and also on technical points .  That 's 
possibly a stimulant to constructive traffic on a list.
Carrying that disagreement into Ad Hominem territory is not a good thing 
For the list or it's members .
  Either to initiate or respond in kind to it . So On List  at least 
let's not any of us go there .

Urinary competitions have no real winners of anything worthy !

Let's get back to the original thread topic after this hopefully 
disposes of the silly stuff .
Because some of us may want to explore a potentially disruptive concept 
as it is being born !

My closing banishment is directed at the miasma called discourtesy 
festering among us .
Folks- let's be better than that .
