My responce :   To document events,  I copied your post as I got it,  and pasted it into the first line of my post.


As you can see,  there is  NO  YOUR  QUESTION  there.

From reaction of other tutors it is  CLEARLY  SEEN  that they also have no your question in their mails.

I have a lot of current work at the forum and at the site,  and I  REALLY  DON'T  WANT  TO  SPEND  my time for nothing . . .
