Eva,

yes, I should have used the word "flaws".
Causing flaws would be the right way to

Smart.Conseil, aka Denis Caraty scanned
it for me.

Hello Edouard,
You have left me in suspense - what comes after
the last partial sentence?
"They in addition have also some defects.... "-
does that mean they can
cause some problems?
