If you can make it all work and want to hack up a proof of concept, go
for it. Right now, however, I think you're letting annoyance get the
better part of intelligence.

More importantly, making suggestions which are almost worded like
demands when it is very clear that you do _not_ understand the subject
in question is only a good way of antagonizing people. You, of all
people, should know that.
