That's fine, I just didn't want my name to become permanently mistaken, so I
corrected you.

As for the rest, I think you're just muddying the waters even more.  We have
no reason to believe that the problem is anything more complicated than ...

... and thus that the solution is equally simple ...

... and thus that the rest of your previous post and this one beyond this
point, is just unnecessary noise interfering with the above signal.

Your posts are usually very helpful, but not so much in this case ... I
suggest you go back to bed, preferably with a good stiff hot toddy, until
your 'flu is past!
