Yes, us too (or is it we too!) wish we’d had it sooner, but I do think you’d need to have done your homework to be able to understand and interpret the answers! That’s where the real value in forums comes, there are folks who have done the research, are super knowledgeable and willing to share it. Allen is one of those folks!
