I wrote a lengthier reply to another of your messages in this thread,
then deleted it without sending.

However, you appear to still be hung up on something, though I cannot
tell what it is.

You may not have liked how someone else answered the question, but all
the answers so far have been utile.  That said, your insistence that the
other answers are somehow inadequate or inappropriate has not at all
helped the discussion.

Let me make a friendly suggestion that you discontinue your
participation in this thread.  It will benefit all concerned.

Regards,
