Thank you, Chris. I was afraid of this could start flame war, so I
asked to reply in a specific way, like, x : y and defined, what is x &
y.

Many of us are not interested in any war including flame war, but
always it would be the powers you have matters. Consider two cases; you

both the cases. :)
