No, for various reasons. I could try to explain things yet again,
but I'm gradually out of patience. If you have any bright ideas
about this please do your homework and verify them - by pencil
and paper, by simualation, or by really implementing them. That
way you'll learn a lot more than by launching random ideas and
let me kill them.
