Ok, I see. I got your point, and I understand it. I'll try to do it anyway,
you see, I've got time to do it, and then, if the thing it's not good, then
ok, it was just not good, then forget it. What you said it's not
discouraging, it's facts, and when you've got to work with something
serious, you have to work with reality too.
