That is all well and good, but it is not your place to thank everyone, as you are not the OP. @Hi_Neighbor, who has not posted in this thread for five years, should have the final say on that matter (but probably will not). ---

Looks like an 18-wheeler drove over it and made it two dimensional and put it up on a sign as a warning. Nothing to boast about, as I see it. ---

That would be over 1087 Avogadros! That is more than a lot, that is exagerated. Heptagerated, octogerated, nonagerated even. Discourse would not manage so many posts. The thread would die. About time too. ---
