I solved the problem. I may or may not have created another potential
problem.

If my employer understood the implications of anything, I wouldn't be
attempting this at short notice with no preparation or training.

Do I? Of course not. Surely if I did understand the implications (and they
were negative) then I wouldnt have done it. That much *must* be obvious.

Rather than demonstrating how pompous you can be, why dont you start again
from the beginning. Your post may go something like this:

'Chris, I can see that you have got past your problem, but I dont think your
solution is ideal because of A, B & C. A better way to do it would be this
way...because it avoids the disadvantages A, B & C and has the advantages of
D, E & F.'

To why I would reply 'Oh, I see. Thanks. That makes sense.'

It's pretty easy. Why don't you try it?
