Thank you vbe,
Yes, this is the correct approach, especially when additional information is requested by a Moderator, in this case, vgersh99 .
It is important that posters, especially these "fly into the site, register, and post" users follow community guidelines and Moderator instructions.
Thank you very much vbe and vgersh99 for your dedication to helping the community and your well-developed moderation skills.
If the OP does not reply back in few days (your judgement call on how many days), then we can "unhide" the two solutions presented so far.
Thanks for the solutions and replies as well!
