Thank you very much for all of your thoughts and responses.  
I wish to delete this thread but don’t know how?

I had a great uncle who invented liquid filled ice cream scoops still waiting on the royalties from that gem.

We don’t normally delete threads here except for spam or other serious reasons.

Why do you want to delete it?

I think it went far enough. Of course, I am open to carrying the eponym’s torch even further for the fun of it. But I already got all the answers I craved or needed to have. Lots. The discussion about Ruggero Oddi was below the belt. It brought back haunting memories. Do you never disable a thread? Or close it?😁

We don’t often close threads, but I think this time it’s a good idea
