I don't agree that your original query was left unanswered - it was
answered by several people, in possibly contradictory ways (that
remains to be seen - I tend to see the commonality). Perhaps you mean
the answers were unsatisfactory for you, in which case I'd be
interested in hearing from you why they are unsatisfactory.
Cheers
