Yes, I noticed these. And I'm really glad you're trying to help a poor
fellow soul. :-)

I just felt like mentioning some additional facts and caveats anyone
should be aware of, before trying tricks like this. I know there are
quite a lot of lurkers and even months (or years) after the actual post
users are using archived posts they just found by searching for a
solution to their issues. Thus IMHO it's worth noting the caveats.

All my recent "chime in" style posts are inspired by this. Over the
years I have been seeing, mentioning as much facts and explaining issues
is more help than fixing an issue and leaving the user behind without a
clue about how this fixed it...

Didn't mean to offend you, dude. :)
