I was referring to my initial post/comment that started all of this,
_that_ thread was technically off-topic when referring to software
methods, though that's largely irrelevant and I personally couldn't give

What I was originally saying was "I'm confused - this is a bottom-post

Stepping back from it, I think I'll take a break from this for a weeks -
