I'll write the content as full paragraphs later. You can help by formatting the headings ;-) Nah, I'll do it. Thanks anyway. :-)
Please, use the "discussion" tab to add your comments and ideas. I just need some time to write all this done. Thanks for your patience.
Oh, and much thanks to L and V for their ideas, comments and support.
