, how much consistency your after?

I like 100% , 100% of the time..

Sorry to jump down your throat on this issue, but your wrong.
I guess it comes from the days I ran (and still do) run servers.

but what I'm saying is, it works, but it hasn't , so it can't be done...

to all users on list, don't try this at home, unless you are 
a) very silly
b) wanting to prove me wrong.

both, are valid reasons...

but don't come running to me, when you break both legs from jumping out
of windows....

Ideally yes. If not then it should still generally be OK. I guess it
depends on much guarantee of consistency your after.
