That was not a few minutes. It was more like another half hour (26 minutes)
of hard work on top of an hour or more of getting nowhere previously. This
is evidence of the fact that I'm working really hard on these issues. I've
been at it all day.

For some reason you are trying to tell me how to behave. And you are judging
me without any basis for doing so. This says more about you than it does
about me.

I was being courteous to the people who might read this list by posting my
solution.

I don't think I'll be reading any more emails from you. (Do the same to me
if you wish. I won't miss your emails.)
