I'm sorry I wrote such a dumb answer. If someone is using Postlatch he's 
probably doing so with intent. My intention was to give Mike a solution 
he can work with. I see that the suggestion "try another tool" is not 
the correct answer to "tool xy does not what it should" and I promise to 
think about it, next time.
