You are thinking of things as they exist now under 2.x and not talking about 
what I am proposing.

Also, you are dealing with the workings of BY not the workings of SA or at 
least with the interaction of BY with SA.

This is because 2.x dropped the option of not choosing BY. Under 2.x you get 
BY and then waive the BY requirements. This is why I call for NOBY and 
(missing reference to BY)... More options and they work cleaner in my 
estimation.

Also, is anyone on this list actually connected into CC? I am not btw.

all the best,
