To the originating gentleman and all who have looked on and/or answered: I think we have a bit of a cultural clash here. This forum is not a crisp, direct, six posts a day place where very specific things get asked and answered. Historically, it is something more, shall we say, chatty. People here tend to respond with associative verbiage that can sometimes contain nuggets, sometimes not. It takes some getting used to. We have a broad range of experience that has allowed people to come at all the problems presented from different angles. So, we tend to get a wide range of responses.
Perhaps for the rest of the thread, in the interests of the asker's question, those who cannot answer simply in the affirmative or negative can just move on? Yes or no, and his question has been answered. It works well in the law courts, and it does wonders for those in the helping and counselling sciences where we are trained not to use closed ended questions when asking them. Open ended question elicit more information, but that is apparently not what the OP wants.
