Dear Sadiq,
I am thankful to you at least , you paid attention to this critical topic.
well to be hoenst I am good at surfing the internet for the concepts to be
grown better but this somehow topic is what I cannot just comeover it.
I have tried to search something better but couldnt just find something over
the internet that takes me through this weired feature of DF.

I am still hoping some one explains this in a better way !!

thanks for concern , btw can you share the link with me !!
