Just trying to understand any potential problems, but I'm having difficulty
seeing it from your point of view (which is what I want to understand). Is
the problem with the functionality? With the naming? What two things would

To me, those individual names describe it quite well, even though they are
different processes.


Please don't interpret any of this as aggravation - it certainly isn't.
We're all trying to understand each other's points of view here.
