>By the way, you lost me with your Brit colloquialism ... I think I know what Brits call swings and roundabouts (playground equipment), but I don't get the phrase "it's swings and roundabouts." Does that mean similar difficulty and similar results whichever solution you choose? (For which the equivalent American phrase would be "six of one, half a dozen of the other.") Oh, I hope the term "Brit" doesn't offend you...(maybe I should write disclaimers for a living.)

My next guess, does "it's swings and roundabouts" mean you're trying to compare two things which aren't really comparable? Similar American phrase would be "it's apples and oranges." (or "you're comparing apples to oranges.")
