Ravinder,

Please do not delete "wrong answers or mistakes" which people have replied to.

Everyone makes mistakes.

However, deleting posts which two people have replied is not really correct and is a "bigger mistake", in my view.

Just accept that you learned something and moved on; but I do recommend caution when you have strong opinions based on theory that do not match practical 'the way things are'... we all make mistakes. That's what makes life fun and interesting,

Plus, others can learn for your mistake, so please see it as a way to help others learn, thanks!
