Hi Dick,
Being such a busy bloke, you really shouldn't waste your time with Gorn. He already knows all the answers and that's that!
"I believe this is a classic example of the technical boffins designing a system which is technically brilliant but over complicated."
I agree - perhaps the system should just have been looked at occasionally and adjusted in accordance with technological changes to be only as complicated as is really necessary at any point in time?
