The OP for this thread contacted me about its being closed and w/o the not unusual name-calling advised that he is both new and sincerely interested in the topic on which he posted. For whatever reason(s), I am convinced that the poster's telling me the truth and have opted to reopen the thread.
Trust me; I DO understand the "dead horse aspects" that have been posted but let's please NOT add more. If you have opinions or observations on the actual thread topic that might be of use, please post them. If the only contribution is to be a plea for it to end or some sort of similar post, please just move along to another topic.
Thank you all in advance.
Best.
