Your comments here are archived.  The conspiracy has failed.  Now if 
you would only provide some substantive details, we would be getting 
somewhere.

Really, it seems to me if you are going to parade out a building term 
which you KNOW is we not are going to find, you would be better off 
defining it when you mention it.

I know what happens if I take my skin out for a walk in the winter.   
So, tell us how it works in your buildings.

Until you provide details, people are going to continue to think you 
are a troll (a liar). Where are these buildings?  How are they made?  
Etc.  If your ideas are good, spread them around.

Thank You Kindly,
