Re: NN6 and layers<info request>

Hi Jim (et al),

Please, don't read anything into this that is not typed . . . 

As purely personal curiosity . . . 

May I please ask (in broad terms if you choose), what type of presentation
you are preparing that would ~warrant~ this hassle (with layers - as
mentioned below)?

I've looked at layers and because of the hassle(s) you mention, I have
decided *for me* it ain't worth the work. So I'm just curious, you are
~obviously~ knowledgeable enough to have weighed the positives and
negatives of this and (equally as obviously) made the decision for *your*
project it is worth the trouble.

I'm curious!

TIA,
Fuzzy
