Did I add my note about not wanting to depress you, or did that get swallowed by my most recent Windows hang?

(I quite understand if you decided to delete it entirely from history and never let it be seen again, in which case I apologise for bringing the whole sordid and painful matter up again. I'm just a habitual techie problem-solver who wants to know where/why/how things mysteriously vanish, when they do. )
