randman can't do it, Christian
you don't have enough "links" to even show that they are links.
Did you ever hear the expression, "Can't see the forest for the trees"?
You're looking at the spaces between the trees and claiming that there are no trees and therefore there is no forest.

People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.

My point - if I have to spell it out for you - is that it doesn't matter how many trees there are. You are only looking at the spaces. You can't see the trees for the spaces, so it's no wonder that you can't see the forest.
To relate it to the topic for Christian: It isn't the missing or broken links that define a chain. It's the links that are commected. Don't look for what's missing. Look for what is there.
