I have no question that it made sense to you. In terms of the overhead, in terms of minimal overhead, that depends on the circumstances. As to the last part of your statment above, I am not sure of the point you are trying to make here. One question, how many C/S apps have you developed and/or worked on???

Very true. Although, I don't know which cases you are referring to in the last sentence above.
