This poll doesnt allow you to vote yes or no without the posters assumptions being added to each answer.

In court this would be called "leading the witness".

So - MINUS the leading question/ answer selections - a simple and unqualified "no" to the thread title question.

You're right, a simple no would have sufficed.
