Why is it John that every time you get stuck on a particular point
you go back to this quite unspecific metaphor?

I say a small set of tools used with skill can do a remarkable number of jobs.

HTTP is one of those remarkably versatile tools. So far all I get from your
posts is that you think it can be misused. We share that opinion, although
we probably differ on what consists of misuse.

You don't need to keep reinventing the wheel.
