I agree. But you learn something every day. There are people who do not 
like 'ignorable'. They require unavailable, because 'available + not 
understandable' frustrates them.

The funny thing is that there is a collection of psyche's out there who 
are really incompatible and they all want that one program to do what 
their psyche likes. You want to skim and not read. Someone else wants 
to know what is going on. Someone else does not want to be confronted 
with anything he does not understand.
