I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not proposing anything at the
moment, I'm just laying down the facts.

... and, a custom application would be designed by experts. It'd have
to be, wouldn't it? I'm not sure where the "...before we even start"
bit comes from, as (I'll say it again), I've not yet proposed
anything per-se.

I'm saying that people jumping up and down saying "This application is 
good!" isn't going to help. I can almost guarantee that none of them
will do everything. We need that "specification" document that is
kicking around in someones head.
