You may get a better response if you move/restart this thread over to/on the General FD Discussions or Research, Education, and Investigation Forum(s).

Most people come to this forum (General Forum Issues) for “Issues related to the forum, how it works, requests for help and FAQs” and to “List problems with the forum, questions about the forum here”.
