Thank you for your coments OZ, I've been 'lurking' on the site for a bit and I have read some of your comments before and respect your opinions.
Thanks for commenting on the continuum idea (THAT was the word that was escaping me when I wrote that earlier section. Sheesh) That was exactly what I was trying to get across. It just seemed that upon reading this thread that a lot of people were saying 'all or nothing'.
