Hey y’all… Hold tight on replies for a few minutes please… When I moved the original ‘off topic’ messages from the other thread to this one - even though they have the correct time stamp, they show below the later responses from this thread… the only way I can ‘fix’ the order is to create a new thread and move the older ones first… It won’t take long… I’ll reply to this message once I’m done with a link to the new new thread… after a short period, I will then delete both of my messages since they are… Off Topic!
