That was more a point for Dave than a general one...TRACE could be  
traceable (and preferred in the UK) WIDE wouldn't be traceable, and  
allow travellers through an area to function without having to re-

Thats true, a fella here rang me to know why his newly configured TH- 
D7 wouldn't work... though it was receiving fine, he had it set

I though it was at the time, but no one else seemed to ;)

at least ;))
