Thanks for the detailed response. Just fyi, I personally wasn't calling it flawed, that is just the impression I got when I heard about it. I understand what you are saying though. But do you think you could explain to me the flaring a little bit more? What will I notice if this happens or what are the symptoms? Thanks again!
