I appreciate this thread. I have not been able to keep up because I had grandkids here all this week.

Speaking from experience, ALL threads go off-topic occasionally. It is best to expect that and have some strategies for getting people back on message.

Because this thread is so long, people like me are going to pop in and out checking the current happenings. Few will bother to read the whole thread before posting, as I do. Hence the questions.

I wouldn't let it distract from the excellent work you are doing. Thanks again. (Sorry if this annoys you as being off-topic.)
