so you can have your cake and eat it too (whatever that means ;) )

Not sure if you meant "whatever that means to you in this case," or "whatever that phrase is supposed to mean." This reply assumes the latter. It's off-topic, but I'm sort of a language nut, so I wanted to comment.

I've always thought this phrase was rather confusing. "Why can't you eat the cake if you have it?" Then I read it somewhere transposed as this: Eat your cake and have it, too. I think that is the intent of the phrase, although the usual wording does obscure it. In this case the two desires really do conflict; you want to eat the cake, but still have it available.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled MMD discussion.
