At this forum,  selection of the topic does not matter.

By the way,  your selection was correct.

Do not worry about it and do not express your apologies about  non-existing issues . . .


Instead of it,  simply post your  "THANKS"  to the tutors for their work.


It would be much more productive communication  (!)
